NNA - Caretaker minister of Public Health, Ali Khalil, congratulated former A'zaz captives during a funeral in Blat/Marjouyoun Sunday. He attributed the "liberation of all nine" to the unity of the Lebanese, reiterating that more of the same awaits them in terms of finding Moussa al-Sadr and the two Syrian prelates.


"Let us seek common denominators that bind us and negotiate under the auspices of the Lebanese president," he added.


Subsequently, the presidential elections must be held on time and in accordance with constitutional deadlines, he went on. "We must remain vigilant in the face of external targeting in a bid to preserve our civil peace and stability," Khalil concluded.
