Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel on Monday criticized the "ambiguous" reference to Hizbullah”s resistance in the new cabinet”s policy statement draft.
Gemayel, addressing the weekly meeting of the party”s central council, said such phrasing leads to "duality of concepts between the resistance and the state."
"It also confuses the state while practicing its duties, especially that protecting and defending the terrain is one of the basic duties of the state," Gemayel added.
He expressed "hope that Syria would acknowledge Lebanon”s sovereignty over Shebaa Farms and help in demarcating the borders with Lebanon."
Gemayel urged President Michel Suleiman to raise the issues of the farms and border demarcation with his Syrian counterpart Bashar Assad during his forthcoming visit to Syria.
