Friday, 5 March, 2021 - 11:45 Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rai greets his audience at the patriarchate in Bkerki, north of Beirut, March 15, 2011. REUTERS/Wadih Shlink Beirut- Asharq Al-Awsat The Maronite League in Lebanon called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Iranian ambassador in Beirut over insults targeting Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rai by the Iranian Arabic-speaking Al-Alam channel. The patriarch has been repeatedly calling for Lebanon’s political neutrality and the holding of an international conference under the auspices of the United Nations to save the country from its current crises. In an article published on its website, the channel accused Rai of seeking normalization with Israel. It threw offending accusations against the patriarch, saying that he was “motivated by right-wing groups known for their close ties with Israel.”
