[ARABNEWS] The UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said on Friday that Syrian refugees in Leb need assurances of a "safe and dignified return" to their homeland. That probably means we should pay for it. Grandi’s comments follow confirmation by Leb’s President ![]() ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... ... that Leb will continue to organize a gradual voluntary return of refugees in accordance with a Russian initiative. Mu’in al-Marabi, Leb’s deputy secretary of state, who took part in the meeting between Grandi and Prime Minister Saad Hariri ![]() , told Arab News that the UN commissioner had no problem with the Russian initiative, but insisted that conditions should be suitable for repatriation of Syrian refugees. "Grandi said we must be logical and unbiased when we discuss refugees’ return," al-Marabi said.
