Future Movement leader MP Saad Hariri proposed a "roadmap" aimed at protecting Lebanon from the unrest taking place in Syria.
"Electing a president and ending the (political) vacuum are the beginning of a solution to the current problem," Hariri said Friday in a televised speech.
The former premier said the roadmap also includes "withdrawal of Hezbollah from the Syrian war, preparation of a national plan to confront terrorism in all its forms, agreement on an official emergency plan to face the Syrian refugee crisis, and making of all efforts to prevent Lebanon from drowning in the repercussions of the Syrian impasse." The party leader also rejected the extension of parliament's term due to the fact, according to him, that "holding parliamentary elections with no president indicates an automatically resigned cabinet and the impossibility of forming a new one." Lebanon has had no president since May 25, when Michel Suleiman's mandate expired, as the two rival blocs that dominate Lebanese politics have been unable to agree on a successor.
