‘War in Lebanon is just a matter of time’

Lebanon

General Security chief Major-General Abbas Ebrahim has warned that war was ‘just a matter of time’ in the absence of inclusion and understanding in the country.

Ebrahim, a Shiite officer with close ties to Hezbollah, called for increased cohesion among all political forces in the country and blasted elites for what he called “irresponsible rhetoric”.

He challenged politicians to put the nation first and to uphold the inclusion of Lebanon’s numerous sects.
