gebran bassil, welcome to hardtalk. thank you.e again, it looks as though lebanon could be drawn in to a dangerous regional conflict, and your government appears to be doing nothing right now to reduce the tension. why is that? actually, we want to avoid getting into any trouble. our policy is to be disassociated from any conflict in the region but we are obliged to protect our country and we are repeatedly aggressed by israeli violations of un resolution 1701. imagine that in the last two months, we had 480 israeli violations of our sovereignty by air, land and sea. but if you seriously want to avoid getting into any conflict, why do you continue to allow the militant shia group hezbollah to expand its military presence across your country? there has never been an attack from lebanon against any country, and specifically israel. it's only an act of self defence. whenever we're attacked by israel like in the war 2006, lebanon has had to respond and since then, we lived 13 years of calm. but i'm talking about... what happened latel
