President Michel Suleiman stated on Friday that Lebanon’s economy and democratic system will protect it against challenges. He added: “The Baabda Declaration and a defense strategy that places the resistance’s arms at the will of the army will protect Lebanon against any Israeli assault.” He also stressed the need to equip the army with modern weapons.

 

The president had held separate talks earlier on Friday with Lebanese Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Khoury and former Arab League chief Amr Moussa. Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced on Thursday: “We declare that we are ready to receive any game-changing weapons and we’re competent to possess and protect such type of weapons and we will use them to defend our people.” [Link]
