And how he could he say THIS with a straight face?
Lest you feel too sorry for Sa'ad al-Hariri.... Mr Hariri told the BBC’s Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen that the current situation was allowing extremism to flourish.It's actually quite rare that Israeli bulldozers destroy 'Palestinian' homes. It probably should happen more often based on the number of homes that are built illegally.
He said the whole world was paying the price for Israel’s policies on the Palestinians.
The lack of peace was also aiding anti-Western forces including Iran, he said.
Mr Hariri, who is currently on a visit to the UK, said that Iran had significant influence in the Middle East region but that the real threat to stability was from failing to achieve peace between Israel and the Arab world.
He said hundreds of millions of Arabs and Muslims were daily watching television footage of Palestinian homes being destroyed by Israeli bulldozers, and that such actions were “not just inflaming the region but … affecting the whole world”.
“You’re paying the price in London, you’re paying the price in Europe, you’re paying the price in the United States, you’re paying the price everywhere,” he said, and asked what the international community was doing to aid the peace process.
I guess lying comes easily to Hariri.
