Hakim: Violence Threatens Lebanon’s Stability, Second Airport Needed
Kataeb Political Bureau member and former minister Alain Hakim on Saturday condemned the recent attack on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and acts of unrest, warning that such incidents endanger the country's stability.
