‘We will stand against Israel. We will stand with our own people’


Hariri voices concern about ‘dangerous’ Israeli military maneuvers ‘day in and day out’.

LONDON – Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri voiced concern about Israeli threats and escalating military activity in a BBC interview broadcast Wednesday.

“We hear a lot of Israeli threats day in and day out, and not only threats,” Hariri told the British broadcaster.

“We see what’s happening on the ground and in our airspace and what’s happening all the time during the past two months – every day we have Israeli planes entering Lebanese airspace.

“This is something that is escalating, and this is something that is really dangerous,” said the prime minister.

Hariri warned Israel not to count on Lebanon, whose politics is highly factious, remaining divided in case of an attack.
