Lebanese Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq warned on Sunday that the identity of Beirut was being threatened by the Iranian agenda. This is the first time since 1943 that its Arabism is coming under danger, he said before a delegation of Beirut families. He stressed that the policy of disassociation from regional crises that has been adopted by Prime Minister Saad Hariri sine 2010 has achieved stability and security for the whole of Lebanon, especially Beirut. Hariri has taken the decision that Lebanon will remain safe, he stated. “We stand by him and with him in this decision,” Mashnouq added. “We have made a lot of progress with the Arab countries that have boycotted Lebanon and their nationals will resume visiting us,” he continued.
