Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Beirut Elias Audeh lamented on Tuesday the current state of affairs in Lebanon, wondering “where the country is being taken given all the burdens it is being made to support.” He said during Christmas mass: “The state should work for everyone, with everyone for Lebanon’s salvation.”

 

Lebanon is being made to serve personal interests at the expense of national ones and those of its people, he added during the mass held at St. Georges Cathedral in downtown Beirut. “The main problem lies in powers seeking solutions to disputes at the expense of the other,” noted Audeh. [Link]
