Syriac Maronite Patriarch al-Rai criticizes efforts to use Lebanon’s political crisis to marginalize Syriac Maronites
DIMANE, Lebanon — During his sermon at the Church of the Patriarchal Edifice in Dimane, Lebanon, Syriac Maronite Patriarch Mor Bechara Butros al-Rai addressed concerns over attempts by some Lebanese factions to sideline the Syriac Maronites from state administration. He highlighted the ongoing presidential vacuum, which has persisted for nearly two years, as part of the most perilous period Lebanon is currently facing.
In related news, sources informed Lebanon Debate that the US remains committed to retaining General Joseph Aoun as the Commander of the Army and a potential presidential candidate.
This position is reportedly supported by caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and the Syriac Maronite Patriarchate, which is determined to ensure that the highest Syriac Maronite office is not transferred to another denomination during the ongoing presidential vacuum.
