Hoss calls for Lahoud's resignation and holding of elections
BEIRUT: Former Prime Minister Salim al-Hoss called on President Emile Lahoud to resign, "within the framework of a national salvation initiative." During a news conference held in Beirut Thursday, the president of the Third Force launched what he called a "national salvation statement," which included a series of economic, security and political recommendations to help the country overcome the current crisis.
The statement called on the government to provide security and follow-up on the investigations into the assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri, in line with the resolutions of the UN Security Council.
Hoss, who had previously supported Lahoud remaining in power until the end of his term, also said "the president should announce his determination to resign from his post after the holding of early parliamentary elections."
He also called for "creation of a fair electoral law, with proportional representation and which includes five electoral districts."
He added that good relations should be established with Syria and stressed that the latter should announce its readiness to cooperate with the international probe into Hariri's assassination.
As for the implementation of international resolutions, Hoss said "the new Parliament should adopt a consensual decision which consists of respecting all resolutions, starting from resolutions 194, 242 and 425 and leading to Resolution 1559."
