Berri & Hariri support Arab League plan for Lebanon |
2008-01-07 |
For the first time in a long time the opposition and the ruling majority seem to be in agreement over resolving the Lebanese crises. Does this mean the political crises in Lebanon is over ? Yesterday the Arab Foreign Ministers and the Arab League offered a plan to end the crises in Lebanon and today parliament majority leader Saad Hariri and Speaker Nabih Berri, a key member of the opposition gave their blessings to the plan Hariri, in a statement released by his press office, said the statement issued by the meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo confirms the need to "fill in the vacuum at the presidential office and the need to shift quickly to set the constitutional mechanism that would allow parliament to convene and carry out the resulting consensus on Gen. Suleiman without any pre-conditions." "On behalf of all the free people in Lebanon I thank Â… whoever played a role in achieving this historic Arab stand regarding Lebanon," Hariri said. He paid special tribute to "Arab kings and presidents who crystallized the trends included in the Cairo declaration." |
