Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Waleed Bukhari tweeted citing a phrase from the book "The State and Living Together" by former Constitutional Council member Antoine Messara, summarizing Lebanon's dilemma: "Professor Antoine Messara, former member of the Constitutional Council, emphasizes in his book titled 'The State and Living Together' that Lebanon's current dilemma is a result of accumulated issues overlooked by time and overshadowed by ignorance, and it manifests ultimately in the absence of the concept of the state."
