NNA – The Maronite Bishops called for “speeding up the formation of the government to safeguard Lebanon’s rights, especially in gas and oil,” and expressed their satisfaction with the “constructive Arab and international movement,” hoping that this would be a way to liberate Lebanon from internal tensions and external interference.

Conferees “thanked Pope Francis who singled out Lebanon in his Easter blessing, and called on the international community to support Lebanon as a land of coexistence, peace and pluralism.”
