Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri has expressed concerns
over a possible Israeli attack on the country, citing an escalated
violation of Lebanese airspace by Israeli aircraft.
Hariri, who arrived in France on Thursday on his first official
visit to a Western country since forming his government in 2009,
made the remarks in an interview with the French newspaper Le
Monde.
He said that Israeli aircraft violated the Lebanese airspace
25 times in one single day last week.
"I also mentioned the necessity to end the daily Israeli
violations of this resolution (United Nations Security Council
Resolution 1701), the escalation of the Israeli threats against
Lebanon and its government," Hariri said.
The Lebanese premier said it seems that Israel thinks hitting
the southern part of Lebanon does not mean that it has attacked
the whole country.
Hariri said when Israel attacked southern Lebanon in 2006 "it
damaged the country's infrastructure. I wondered if that should
not be considered an attack on the whole country."
Israel launched an attack on Lebanon in 2006, but was met with
stern resistance from Hezbollah. The 33-day war resulted in
a heavy defeat for Tel Aviv, after the United Nations Security
Council Resolution 1701 called on Israel to withdraw all of
its forces from Lebanon.
"Naturally, this topic is part of a wider problem, the
one of Israel's refusal to go forward in the [Middle East] peace
process, especially with the Palestinians," Hariri was
quoted by Reuters as saying.
"When the people find they can vote themselves
money, that will herald the end of the republic."
