Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON Today Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees stands by the legitimate government of Lebanon and expressed her disapproval over the actions taken by Hezbollah as they forced the collapse the Lebanese government.
The attempt to destabilize the Lebanese government is an attempt to derail democracy and freedom. As the Prime Minster of Lebanon Saad Hariri was meeting with the President of the United States Hezbollah decided to withdraw from and dissolve the government. We cannot allow Hezbollah to undermine democracy in countries where people desire to live in freedom.
I applaud the courage of Saad Hariri who is following in the footsteps of his father Rafik Hariri who was assassinated in 2005. I encourage the United States government to stand with the established and legitimate government of Lebanon."
