BEIRUT: U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton was speaking at a ceremony held in his honor by the Lebanese-American Alliance in Washington Saturday to celebrate the first anniversary of the Syrian troops` withdrawal from Lebanon.
The lunch was attended by representatives from the March 14 Forces, including MP Antoine Zahra representing Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, MP Ghazi Youssef representing Future bloc leader MP Saad Hariri, former MP Fares Soueid and head of the National Liberal Party Dory Chamoun, as well as officials from the White House and the U.S. State Department. Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, however, condemned the reception, saying: "the February 14 Forces honoring Bolton is a mark of disgrace because the "Israelis" honored him last year for his services to their country."
Speaking Sunday, Qassem said Lebanon should "get rid of the American interference in the country`s affairs."
In a separate incident, students in the Kfar Kila public school hung a picture depicting Bolton next to the symbol of the February 14 Forces and the Star of David near the Fatima Gate on the Lebanese-"Israeli" border.
