Unity and Sovereignty Key
During Sunday Mass in Bkerke, Patriarch Cardinal Mar Bechara Boutros al-Rahi called for sparing Lebanon another war. He stressed that decisions on war and peace must be unified and remain in the hands of the state, with weapons restricted to its legitimate institutions and the borders protected. He warned against arms smuggling and the purchase of land by those exploiting the economic crisis, and called for land ownership to be safeguarded. He also noted the worsening cost-of-living crisis and rising taxes, and the strain they are placing on citizens. The state, he stressed, is responsible for providing services, justice and protection—not for leaving citizens alone to bear the cost of its failures.
