He said during a press conference: “The Orthodox proposal never had the chance to succeed.”

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun warned on Tuesday that his movement's position towards all sides will change should Christian parties that backed the Orthodox Gathering electoral draft law retract their approval of it during Wednesday's parliament session.

He therefore urged after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting the parties to respect their commitment.

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stated on Tuesday that he will not hesitate to help the Lebanese in Syria’s border town of al-Qusayr, assuring that the party prides itself in its martyrs.

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stated on Tuesday his rejection of “sharing Christians' rights”, warning against a “serious problem” that could result if no equality was assured in the electoral law.

Hizbullah on Thursday denied sending a drone into Israel's airspace, a few hours after the Israeli air force said it shot down an unmanned aircraft several miles off the coast of the northern city of Haifa after it entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon.

“Hizbullah denies sending any unmanned drone into the airspace of occupied Palestine,” said a terse statement issued by the party.
