In an issued statement on Sunday, former Minister of Interior and Defense Elias al-Murr said that “the financial and economic sector, on the one hand, and the military and security institutions, on the other hand, have always been, ever since Lebanon’s inception, the basic pillars of stability and prosperity.” In wake of the harm done to the financial sector at this stage, al-Murr cautioned against involving the military and security sector in politics and the presidential dossier, as it remains the sole sector in the country that has been spared thus far from the collapse. “Beware of harming it and throwing it into the furnace of internal and external conflicts and the calculations of politics and the presidency,” warned al-Murr.
