Palestinians to stay away from Lebanon's disputes
JERUSALEM — Palestinian officials will travel to Beirut in the next two days to tell the Lebanese leadership that the Palestinian Authority will not interfere in internal Lebanese politics and will also try to keep Palestinian refugees in Lebanon on the sidelines, a senior Cabinet minister said on Monday.

Deputy Prime Minister Nabil Shaath said the delegation of officials from Mahmoud Abbas' ruling Fatah movement will also meet with Palestinian leaders from the refugee camps to deliver a message: stay clear of any internal Lebanese or Syrian disputes. "The aim is to stress our clear position as Palestinians, that we are not a party to any Lebanese-Lebanese struggle or any Lebanese-Syrian issue," Shaath said.
"Besides, we can't tell which way the wind is blowing!" he added.
