Maronite Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi stressed that “the President of the Republic is the one authorized to demand the implementation of international resolutions.”

“We have always warned against the continued vacancy in the presidential position as it is a political assassination of the consensual system," Al-Rahi said during his Sunday sermon.

The Patriarch pointed to another vacancy in the state, saying: “There is another vacancy in the Military Academy as there will be no students for the second year, and who will protect the rights of those accepted?"

He concluded by calling on those concerned to open the Military Academy so that there is no vacancy greater than that of the Presidency of the Republic.
