Beirut: Senior pro-government Lebanese political leader, Saad Al Hariri, said on Tuesday his majority coalition would not surrender to Hezbollah, whose fighters have routed supporters of the Sunni-led government in Beirut.
"They simply are demanding that we surrender, they want Beirut to raise white flags... This is impossible," Hariri told a news conference.
