Syria-Lebanon-Iran
France and US to Ignore Lebanon's New Govt
2004-10-29
Although it includes a number of Francophile as well as pro-American figures, Lebanon's new Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Omar Karameh, has already received the cold shoulder from both Paris and Washington. "We have taken note of the formation of this new organ," a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry in Paris said yesterday. "But there are no plans for any substantive contacts with the team in question." In Washington, Richard Boucher, the State Department spokesman, was even more precise. "The new Lebanese Cabinet is a Syrian creation," he said. "Its imposition is another sign that Syria is not prepared to cooperate with the United Nations' Security Council."
