Ackerman’s Resolution to Back The Lebanese Government
July 18, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui
On July 17th, Gary Ackerman, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia in the US introduced a bipartisan resolution expressing the support of the House of Representatives for Lebanon’s government:
Mr. Ackerman, in explaining the resolution says:
“The current Lebanese government is both legitimate and representative of the majority of Lebanese” Ackerman added. “The attempts to undermine it through a campaign of assassinations, rioting and demonstrations, bombings in public places, threats to establish an alternative extra-constitutional government, and the instigation of a jihadi insurgency are not responses to anything the Lebanese government has done. Lebanon’s government is being systematically attacked only because it is unwilling to subordinate its authority and sovereignty to external and extra-legal demands.”
