11th February 2010 - Hariri sees war threats from Israel (AN)


Lebanon has expressed concerns that Israel may be planning new aggression against Lebanon. The Lebanese President Saad Hariri, son of former assassinated Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, has declared that, if Israel attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Lebanese Government will side with Hezbollah. "We hear a lot of Israeli threats day in and day out, Hariri said in an interview posted on the BBC’s website on Wednesday. Every day we have Israeli warplanes entering Lebanese airspace. This is something that is escalating, and this is something that is really dangerous. Hariri leads a fragile national unity government that includes two ministers from the Hezbollah, which fought Israel to a standstill in a month-long war in 2006."
