Lebanon cannot be saved if its people cannot reach agreement, said the prominent Shiite religious figure Sheikh Abdul Amir Qabalan on Friday during a sermon at the Imam al-Hussein Ben Ali Mosque in Burj al-Barajneh.
Qabalan expressed his hope during the sermon that Premier-designate Saad Hariri would be able to form a government soon as not to “leave the country in the middle of international and regional disputes.”
He called on everyone to take responsibility, saying it was “shameful that the Lebanese have to wait for others to agree before they reach an accord.”
Qabalan also referred to the Al-Aqsa Mosque violence that occurred last Sunday and asked all Arab leaders to stay united.
“The quickest way to preserve Jerusalem is to maintain your unity and stand by the Palestinian people,” he said, addressing the country’s leaders.
Qabalan during his sermon condemned the UAE for taking “unfair and unjustified measures against the Lebanese Shias.”
