Dangers Shall Continue to Surround Lebanon if Country Remains Prisoner of Axis Policies
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel received visiting U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David Hale and Ambassador Michele Sison Saturday saying: "Since Lebanon is prisoner to axis policies, with the presence of an armed group that places the country in [axis], Lebanon shall continue to suffer from surrounding dangers."
He stressed the dire need for March 14 Forces to maintain a parliamentary majority "capable of holding the decisions of war and peace."
Hale affirmed the "solid" U.S. stance toward Lebanon; he briefed Gemayel of his recent visit to Saudi Arabia and reiterated the need for Lebanon to hold "honest and transparent parliamentary elections."
