Beirut: MP Ali Mekdad on Thursday expressed his surprise at MP Okab Saqr's involvement with the Free Syrian Army. Mekdad was perplexed by Saqr's televised appearance with a senior member of the Free Syrian Army, questioning how Saqr could orchestrate fights against the Syrian regime, which has resulted in the loss of numerous Syrian lives.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, Mekdad further questioned former Prime Minister Saad Hariri regarding Saqr's actions. Mekdad sought clarity on how Hariri could condone a member of his political bloc participating in regional conflicts and taking directives from foreign leaders. Mekdad emphasized that, as a parliamentarian, Saqr should solely represent a specific Lebanese segment rather than engage in regional military activities.
