The President of the Council of Ministers Saad Hariri received the candidate to the French presidential election, the president of the "National Front" Mrs. Marine Le Pen, accompanied by MP Gilbert Collard, her chief of staff Nicolas Lesage and her political adviser Omar Harfouch, in the presence of Hariri's chief of staff, Nader Hariri. 

During the meeting, Prime Minister Hariri said that "Muslims are the first victims of the terrorism that claims to be from this religion, while it has no religion, and that the moderates who constitute the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the World are the first target of the supposedly Muslim terrorism because they are in fact the first bulwark against extremism ". 

He added that "the worst mistake would be the amalgam between Islam and Muslims on one hand and terrorism on the other hand". 

Hariri also said that "the Lebanese and Arabs, like the majority of the world, consider France to be the homeland of human rights and of the republican state that makes no ethnic, religious or class distinction between its citizens". 

He added that "Lebanon, whose population does not exceed 4 millions, now hosts around 2 million refugees, which subjects its economy and infrastructure to an unparalleled pressure. The Lebanese government is currently preparing an integrated plan to face this situation and calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities in this crisis."
