Kabbara also asked, “Why don’t the security forces raid the Syrian regime’s arms depots in Lebanon, even though everyone knows where they are?”
Kabbara said : “Hezbollah, along with the Syrian and Iranian -backed parties are occupying Beirut.”
Kabbara accused Hezbollah of building security quarters in Akkar , Tripoli, Menniyyeh, Beqaa, Saida, Beirut, Mount Lebanon ( both in the Christian and Druze areas) to undermine Lebanon’s stability by openly distributing arms to their supporters”.
Commenting on the funding of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon ( STL) he said : Everyone that opposes funding the tribunal is a criminal and a traitor .
