Lebanon’s Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir reiterated to his visitors on Tuesday that “the presidency remains above all else” and wondered whether the sources of the campaign against President Michel Suleiman were “internal or external.”

Sfeir was responding to the attack of President Suleiman by former minister Wiam Wahab , who called on him to resign.

Sfeir also discussed with his visitors the issue national dialogue , hoping it “would achieve the hoped for results.”

“This dialogue should be among the people,” he said. “The government is seeking to carry out its obligations. There are a lot of things that need to be done but it (the cabinet) should be given some time.”
