Businessman Bahaa Hariri received a large number of popular delegations, activists, and figures from various regions of the North, who conveyed to him their demands and struggles, particularly in social and health matters. Hariri confirmed that he "extends his hand to all segments of Lebanese society," indicating that "his project will serve all Lebanese without discrimination or distinction, just as the path of the martyred President Rafik Hariri was based on Islamic-Christian coexistence."
He reiterated his commitment to continuing Rafik Hariri's path through his vision and political and economic ideas, utilizing all his international relations, capabilities, and expertise to serve Lebanon, rescue it from its crises, and put it back on the path of economic prosperity and social growth, fulfilling his father's dream by implementing sustainable projects in the North.
He emphasized that "he will uphold his promise and covenant, and will not accept the continuation of the current situation as it is, and will work to complete his father's journey, who was a key figure in the Taif Agreement that ended the civil war and brought significant changes to the Lebanese state, lifting it from the devastation and destruction it was suffering."
Hariri considered that "the political disasters that occurred in Lebanon came after the martyrdom of Hariri, especially the quadruple alliance," and he viewed that "the Sunni community's project is on par with the project of the state," affirming his "rejection of extremism." He stated, "The Christian is in my heart, and I know that I am in the heart of every Christian. We extend our hands to everyone, and we will meet all segments of Lebanese society in our project that will serve all Lebanese without discrimination or distinction. The path of the martyred President emphasized the importance of shared Christian-Muslim coexistence."
Hariri apologized for "the mistakes that afflicted the path of President Rafik Hariri, despite not being responsible for these mistakes," which accumulated from 2005 to 2019 and led to the social explosion that renewed in 2022. He had previously warned that "what is to come is greater," which prompted him to hesitate in entering the political arena.
He mentioned that he was with the revolution because he believed its demands were legitimate, saying, "My message is always not to be angry, as decisions made in anger do not yield good results." He pointed out that "when I set foot in Rafik Hariri International Airport, I was clear that my return aims to continue my father's path. Therefore, we must return and collaborate together to complete it."
Hariri also announced "his intention to open offices and centers throughout Lebanon addressing political and social issues," reaffirming that "the voice of Beirut International will return soon, and with great strength."
