Gaza Crisis Will Pave Way for Arab-Israeli Negotiations
March 14 General Secretariat Coordinator Fares Soueid believed that, should the Gaza crisis end with “a Palestinian United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701”, both the Arab-Israeli conflict and the logic of resistance would be eliminated.
UNSCR 1701 had ended the use of weapons in Lebanon, he added, and the “surplus of arms became a burden on Hezbollah”.
In an interview with the Free Lebanon radio station on Wednesday, Soueid said the fall of the concept of resistance in Palestine meant the fall of the concept of resistance in Lebanon, “and I believe that it has already fallen.”
The Gaza issue could also pave the way for “hard and fierce” negotiations that required all Arab countries to be “politically and diplomatically united,” he added.
