Former Prime Minister of Lebanon Saad Hariri has called for rallying around the armed forces and legitimate security forces, which are responsible for confronting terrorism and all forms of violations of national sovereignty.
In a statement Friday on the advent of Eidul Adha, Hariri also called for prioritizing Lebanon's national interest placing the national interests "above everything else."
He demanded a speedy resolution to release Lebanese servicemen, who are being held hostage by militants in Lebanon's northeast border.
"Our joy in the Eid will not be complete before we see the kidnapped soldiers in the arms of their parents, and this is a responsibility worthy of national consensus and a crucial decision regardless of the price,” he said.
