Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri was reelected on Sunday as the head of the Future Movement.

Future Movement parliamentary bloc leader and former PM Fouad Siniora declared the victory of Hariri at the Future Movement founding conference that was held at Biel Exhibition Center in downtown Beirut.

During the conference the party also elected an 18-member political bureau.

MP Samir Jisr won uncontested the post of Chairman of Future Movement’s Supervisory and Control Board.

The newly elected Al-Mustaqbal politburo also appointed Ahmed Hariri as Secretary-General of the Future Movement.

Also elected as vice-presidents were Bassem al-Sabaa, Antoine Andraous, and Samir Doumit.

Ahmed Hariri will hold a press conference on Monday to announce the recommendations of the founding conference of the Future Movement, according to a Future Movement statement

The Conference was attended by 600 Mustaqbal affiliates in their capacity as active members. Also participating at the conference were about 100 observers.

MP Samir Jisr won uncontested the post of Chairman of Future Movement’s Supervisory and Control Board.

Justice not negotiable
Hariri said during the conference: “There are some who imagine, fear,or probably wish that the issue of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination could be a cause for the eruption of a Lebanese crisis or sectarian strife. We say with all honesty and responsibility that there is no place in our national dictionary for these fears or allegations or even wishes”

Hariri said that the case of the assassination of his father has become a national, Arab, and international cause, adding that achieving justice “is not open for negotiation”.

Addressing the recent tension following the speeches of Hezbollah chief sayyed Hassan Nasrallah , Hariri said :

“Hariri’s soul will not be a reason to restart strife on Lebanese land, so enough intimidation.”

He added: “We are dealing with STL with a sense of responsibility to prevent strife from penetrating into our internal unity ” .

Hariri called for calm in the face of “attempts to launch campaigns aimed at creating tension and anxiety among the people.”

if nasrallah wants to encourage strife then i will fight him. if nasrallah wants to act like a child then i will scold him. if nasrallah wants to challenge the STL then do it legally.

i absolutely agree with hariri except for the fact that the hariri assasination has become an arab casue. i hate the idolisation of any human being. he was with all due and the utmost respect a very good human being and he wasn’t doing anything out of the norm.

he was only doing what any normal person in his capacity would do unlike the idiots in the government who do nothing for lebanon except sell it to the highest bidder.

he was an absolute good man and he did well for lebanon so lets rejoice and teach our potential future children leaders what good people can do for lebanon.

even HA with all its promises to build homes have done nothing so nasrallah please learn from those who deliver how to do so. you are truly a good fighting force but your diplomacy is very lacking.

if your party has spies in it, flush them out. if the telecommunication system is dragging, allow for help to bring it up to speed.

your speeches need to be softened a little cos i start to question a man of faith who has so much ego. its very contradictory.

other than that, i welcome talks with you as i know that all of us lebanese are in the boat together so even if you’re a riotous brother, i need to have patience with you and bring you to the table on mutual terms that will benefit all.

one lebanon one people one god separation of church and state.

You guys should really all wait to see what kind of evidence STL has before running to conclusions.

That aside I do like both Hariri and Nasrallah and hoping that somehow they can make things work for the good of Lebanon. I know only israeli’s or their lovers in Lebanon would like Hariri and Nasrallah to become enemies.

Let’s not forget the blood suckers that are occupying Palestine and building settlements. Once they finish settling there then they might also lust for Lebanon’s land which they also consider their’s.

Don’t be stupid Lebanon. Do the right thing at any cost.
