Suleiman Stresses Need for Arab Unity in the Face of Terrorism
President Michel Suleiman on Monday stressed the need for Arab unity in the face of terrorism.
He said the upcoming Arab summit to be held in Doha at the end of March is an opportunity to move forward toward taking "bold" decisions regarding inter-Arab reconciliation.
Suleiman told Arab interior ministers who visited him at Baabda Palace, that such solidarity "is a source of strength," particularly if it is based on a "comprehensive and united Arab strategy that would compel Israel to implement the Arab peace initiative."
The president said he believed "Israel is the one that created a suitable atmosphere for terrorism in order to stigmatize Arabs and Muslims."
