 Palestinian factions denounced the security measure deployed by the Lebanese Army around the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command (PFLP-GC).
| Comes as a surprise, doesn't it? |
The factions made their announcement during an extraordinary meeting they held on Sunday to discuss latest political developments in Palestine and the Arab region, especially the situation of Palestinian camps in Lebanon. Last week, the head of the PFLP-GC
had instructed all his forces to be on alert and ready for mobilization. After the meeting, the factions asserted that "defending Lebanon's security and sovereignty is achieved by strengthening and safeguarding the resistance's weapons and not through targeting these weapons represented in Hizbullah's weapons."
| Right. The way to defend Leb's security is to strengthen armed non-state actors with a history of disrupting the state. I've decided to lose some weight, so I think I'll go eat a cocoanut creme pie. A whole one. |
They also demanded that the Lebanese government "open the door for political dialogue with the Palestinian factions." They also insisted that "dealing with the Palestinian issue from a security level will not lead to positive results or to reasonable solutions for all the common issues." |
