Resigned Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh denounced the "unfortunate situation" in Lebanon, which he said was due to the deepening divide between the different Lebanese parties which had pushed the country away from potential peaceful coexistence.
Salloukh warned that either expanding the crisis or making unilateral decisions would preclude any possible national dialogue on the resistance's weapons.
"The government went even further than the United Nations required, which undermines the legitimacy of the cabinet, in addition to the denial that the ministerial statement was issued," Salloukh said in reference to the government's announcement on Saturday that it had not decreed the statement that sparked widespread violence between opposition and government supporters across Beirut, the Chouf, and northern Lebanon.
Salloukh accused the government of cooperating with "New York" and UN envoy for the implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1559 Terje Roed-Larsen, who he said had proffered information on Hizbullah's arms to the Security Council given to him by the Lebanese government.
"This approach equips foreign powers with information concerning national security through the UN Security Council," he added.
