Israeli Massacres Require Global Action, Palestinian Unity
The majority March 14 alliance described Israel”s massive air raids on Gaza Saturday as "barbaric massacres."
A statement by the coalition supported a call by Prime Minister Fouad Saniora for an emergency Arab League meeting to adopt an Arab stance to "face up to Israeli terrorism."
"These barbaric massacres require a wide-scale Arab and international action to deter Israel and force it to stop its aggression," said the statement.
These massacres "also require restoration of Palestinian unity and an end to Palestinian divide," the statement added.
It said March 14 leaders express solidarity with the Palestinian people and their just cause in line with a comprehensive settlement based on U.N. resolutions, particularly 1850.
"Harmony of the Lebanese government”s policy with this general trend and requirements, to strengthen Res. 1701, is a higher national interest," March 14 said.
