Hamadeh warns of appointments that allows Syrian interference in Lebanon
As new evidence surfaced on the attack the day before yesterday, the French contingency of UNIFIL overshadowed news of the war waged by Hezbollah against the chair of the permanent military judge, Elise Shibtiny. At the same time, Mikati held a new session on the minimum wage bill.
Regarding the attack on French soldiers, senior security sources report that the volume of material used in the attack and the method of implementation show that the explosion took place moments before the arrival of the UNIFIL vehicle in order to increase the probability of attack.
Yesterday, MTV reported that the package weighed 10 kilograms, and was detonated remotely – about 150 meters northwest of where the package was planted. Some believe that since the bomb exploded before the arrival of the vehicle, those responsible for the operation had made a mistake.
Commenting on the attack, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri said in chat session via Twitter that this was a message from Syria, adding that the Syrian people would achieve victory in the end.
Last night, on Manar TV, Hezbollah criticized Judge Shibitny, saying that the Lebanese judiciary was setting a dangerous precedent by releasing a group of hardened Israeli agents who did not serve their full sentences. Hezbollah added that the seriousness of their convictions called into question the motives of the judge.
Meanwhile, Future MP Marwan Hamadeh warned that appointments of pro-Syrian politicians were being made before the demise of Damascus.
Yesterday, Mikati defended a decision by his government to raise the minimum wage by 20 percent, saying the country’s economic conditions did not allow for a higher increase as demanded by labor unions. He is calling on the unions to support the decision.
