Lebanese Minister of State Abdel-Rahim Mrad praised Syriaâs stand in the Middle East conflict on Tuesday. Mrad was speaking in Baalbek at a celebration marking the Prophet Mohammedâs birthday, held by Dar al-Fatwa and attended by both Sunni and Shiite religious leaders, in addition to a number of local personalities. He said Syriaâs leadership was the only regional force with an âeffective voiceâ that can impose conditions for dialogue, reject external conditions and seek the liberation of occupied land instead of bargaining for it.
