“Right of Return” for Palestinians Gateway to Any Peace Settlement
President Michel Suleiman reiterated the Lebanese stance opposing to the settling of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, and stressed that giving the Palestinian refugees their rights, topped by the "right of return", was the correct gateway toward any comprehensive, just, and permanent peaceful solution in the region.
Suleiman told his visitors on Wednesday that the refugees topic constitutes a main issue of the issues to be discussed with U.S. President Barrack Obama during visit to Washington this weekend.
"The threats uttered by Israel”s PM against Lebanon, in addition to sea and land breaches, and spy networks are what consist a clear violation to Resolution 1701, the thing that clearly contradicts with related international resolutions," said Suleiman to his visitors.
The president stressed that the south of Litani area is enjoying security and stability through the deployment of Lebanese Army and UNIFIL and their ongoing cooperation.
