- 15:40Hariri: If Hezbollah is so adamant about the representation of the independent Sunni MPs, it could have allocated to them one of their ministerial seats
- 15:39Hariri: I would have surely agreed to represent the six independent Sunni MPs in the government had they initially run for the elections as one bloc
- 15:37Hariri: It is not Hezbollah who decides who should or should not be represented in the government
- 15:37Hariri: I did my part. The government lineup is ready. Now it is up to everyone to assume their responsibilities.
- 15:35Hariri: Hezbollah has decided to impede the government formation. I honestly did not expect that because our talks initially had another approach.
- 15:32Hariri: The Constitution stipulates that the prime minister-designate forms a government while consulting with the president only. There is no third party involved in the formation process.
- 15:31Hariri: It is not Saad Hariri the one who allows obstruction or accepts that the Taef agreement be violated
- 15:29Hariri: We can’t accept that the Sunni sect be dominated by another one
- 15:27Hariri: It is not true that I am monopolizing the Sunni representation in the government. In fact, there is a Sunni minister named by President Aoun and another one agreed jointly with MP Mikati.
- 15:25Hariri: I am the 'father' of Sunnis in Lebanon. I know very well where the interest of the Sunnis lies, and how to protect and defend this community
- 15:25Hariri: I don’t tolerate sectarian accusations against me
- 15:24Hariri: I can't hide the fact that I wasn't convinced of the standards imposed in the government formation as many were seeking to enforce new, unacceptable norms
- 15:22Hariri: Some were betting that the Lebanese Forces would obstruct the government formation. When they saw that the LF party finally consented to the share proposed to it, they decided to step in and impede the process themselves.
- 15:22Hariri: This whole issue doesn’t require all the shouting and threats that we heard lately
- 15:20Hariri: If Hezbollah is really keen to include those MPs in the government, then why didn't it name one of those six lawmakers for premiership during the binding consultations with the president?
- 15:19Hariri:The obstacle is bigger than the issue of March 8 Sunni MPs
- 15:18Hariri: Since the first day this issue was brought up, I made it clear that I am against representing those six lawmakers in the government.
- 15:17Hariri: I did not deal with the demands of the independent Sunni MPs recklessly and indifferently as some are claiming. My stance was clear from the beginning.
- 15:16Hariri: The latest speech made by Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah shows that the so-called independent Sunni MPs knot is only the tip of the iceberg
- 15:15Hariri: Today, I will not tell the Lebanese that everything is fine; there is a truth that must be told
- 15:14Hariri: Each time we seek to open a door for light to come in, there is someone who shuts it
- 15:13Hariri: All the Lebanese know that my political rhetoric is always positive and reassuring despite political divergences and bickerings
