MP says Lebanon being held hostage
BEIRUT: Beirut MP Michel Pharaon voiced concern Thursday that the country was in a state of paralysis and being held hostage to recurrent security incidents that are shunting any progress.
“The entire country has become a hostage and not just the Turkish pilot and his assistant, the [state] institutions are being held hostage, the Cabinet, Parliament’s activity and the activity of some institutions,” said the MP after meeting Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam.
