Miqati: Lebanon Unanimous on Rejection to Naturalize Palestinians
[An Nahar] Premier  Najib Miqati reiterated on Tuesday Leb's "unanimous" decision to reject the naturalization of Paleostinians but vowed to provide them with the "necessary attention" to resolve their plight.During talks with the Paleostinian president's envoy, Azzam al-Ahmed, Miqati said: "The Lebanese government will work to give the humanitarian and social issues of Paleostinians in the refugee camps the necessary attention in cooperation with involved international agencies." Miqati said however that "Leb unanimously rejects the naturalization of Paleostinians in Leb and holds onto their right of return home to an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital." Warning about the Israeli danger, the prime minister said the Jewish state's "violations and attacks should provide the Lebanese with the incentive to heed the continued danger that Israel poses on Leb and push them towards national unity." He told the envoy that the Paleostinian cause should be at the top of the priorities of Arab and Islamic countries. Paleostinian unity also gives the different factions the required "immunity" to confront Israel, Miqati said. Posted by: Fred 2011-06-29 |
