Caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab said in a statement today that "the Islamic New Year is coinciding this year with Lebanon’s deep national crisis, reflected in social, daily-living, economic and financial problems for which the Lebanese pay the price."
Diab called for "this occasion to be an opportunity for a national solidarity stand at this critical stage in Lebanon's history, leading to the success of efforts to form a government capable of dealing with the deep crisis in the country,” hoping that Lebanon would emerge from its difficult ordeal.
