Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri announced that the Majority would not sign a "document of surrender" to Syria and Iran and warned that Hizbullah's attack on Beirut has started a Sunni-Shiite conflict. Hariri, addressing a press conference at his Qoreitem Palace in Beirut Tuesday, said any dialogue with the Hizbullah-led opposition should be topped by one topic, which is the "martyrs" and victims who fell during the offensive that Beirut has faced. "We were expecting open war on Israel, but the open war was launched on Beirut," Hariri said. "Did Beirut assassinate Imad Mughniyeh?" he asked. Hariri said Hizbullah launched its attack upon instructions from Iran and Syria. He charged that the Sunni-Shiite confrontation has started and called for containing it before it explodes into all out civil war. The citizens, according to Hariri, "protected the army unity." Hariri accused Hizbullah and its allies of "committing a crime under the pretext of defending the resistance and now they are using resistance weapons against the people." "History would not have mercy on champions of the Sunni-Shiite confrontation," Hariri declared. "The attack couldn't have happened without an Israeli cover," Hariri charged and asked: "how did thousands of fighters move from the south to Beirut?" "This is the first indication to a Syrian-Israeli rapprochement," he added. "They want Saad Hariri, (Progressive Socialist Party leader) Walid Jumblat and all the March 14 forces to approve the return of the Syrian regime to Lebanon, but this would not happen. This is impossible," Hariri declared. He said: "We did not fight. We are not good at civil wars. This is an honor." Hariri stressed that "item number one on any dialogue agenda should be the security of Beirut, the mountain, the north and all Lebanese areas." "Dialogue has no meaning if weapons are pointed at the Lebanese," he added. Hariri reiterated that "we had placed the two (government) decisions in the hands of the Army command and we are committed to the Army Command's statement." He said the Arab ministerial committee is welcome in Lebanon "through Beirut Airport and I hope it would succeed in safeguarding Lebanon the ordeals imposed by the Syrian and Iranian regimes." He repeated that "the Sunni-Shiite conflict is on." Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman remains the consensus presidential candidate," Hariri added.
