Lebanon Is Slowly Turning Into A Pariah State

Exhibit A: (A few days ago)

[Caretaker Minister of Telecommunications] Nahhas had reportedly told Speaker Nabih Berri that he had stopped meeting the demands of the U.N. commission investigating Hariri’s assassination since last year’s speech by Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in which he called on the Lebanese government and officials to boycott the STL

Exhibit B: (Today)

Transport and Public Works Minister Ghazi Aridi asked fuel suppliers at Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport to disregard international sanctions against Iran, NOW Lebanon’s correspondent reported on Friday. The report says that Aridi’s step came after he received a phone call from Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghadanfar Roken Abadi about the matter

Are you seeing how the “face” of Lebanon is changing? Mr. Mikati is complaining that some parties in Lebanon are “pushing for sanctions”, evidently meaning his opponents in March 14. In his logic, people like me who are complaining about Lebanon turning into a Pariah state are the problem, not his allies like Mr. Aridi and Hezbollah who are actually causing the problem..
