reiterated that the Syrian refugees must return to their homeland noting a need for coordination with the Syrian government to achieve that end, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Tuesday.
Moreover, a political source said the file is taking a negative turn, "the outside world has its own perception regarding the file and apparently does not care about the return, but only cares that this burden is kept away from them," he told the daily on condition of anonymity.
In Leb, political parties are sharply divided over the return issue and the means to be adopted.
In light of the aggravating burden, "the Lebanese side must prove seriousness in addressing the file rather than complying with regional or international considerations that impede this return," the source told the daily.
The international community has its own considerations in addressing the return file, but Leb is bearing the greatest burden of more than two million displaced people which requires a quick and effective measure.
The sources said that the Vatican has already issued a warning message to Leb that the international community has no desire to return the displaced to Syria.
Foreign delegates who visited Leb and the reports from major countries all confirm that the file won’t be addressed anytime soon, said the source.
The above raises concern of attempted resettlement of displaced Syrians in their places of refuge, something that was considered by some officials of major powers.
"Shall this turns out to be serious, it means bringing Leb into a very dangerous zone that threatens its future and its entity," concluded the source.
Leb hosts an estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees that impact its already ailing economy and infrastructure.
The Brussels Conference on Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region is set on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday aimed to raise financial aid for the 11.7 million Syrians in need of humanitarian assistance.
Leb will present a plan, it presented two years ago, to reduce its burden of around 1.5 million Syrian refugees.
