Lebanon Says Backs Any Arab Action that 'Reassures Everyone' after Yemen Strikes
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةLebanon on Thursday took an ambiguous stance that is in the vein of its famous “dissociation policy” towards regional conflicts, voicing support for any joint Arab action that “reassures everyone,” after Saudi warplanes bombed Shiite rebels in Yemen and sparked Iranian warnings.
“Any joint Arab action is lauded if it is based on standards that guarantee (the interests of) everyone, reassure everyone and involve everyone,” Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil said, addressing a meeting for Arab FMs in Sharm el-Sheikh.
The meeting aims to prepare for the 26th ordinary Arab Summit and had been scheduled prior to the Saudi-led strike.
Riyadh has said it assembled a coalition of more than 10 Arab and Muslim countries for the operation it dubbed "Firmness Storm."
The military move against the Shiite Huthi rebels in Yemen triggered fury from Riyadh's regional rival Iran, with officials warning that the military action threatened to spill over into other countries.
The bombing of the Huthi rebels, who are said to be backed by Iran, came days after Yemen seemed headed toward all-out civil war as the militia advanced southwards towards the southern city of Aden.
Relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia have been strained for years, notably over the civil war in Syria, but the crisis in Yemen has put them sharply at odds again.
The Saudi strikes appeared designed to halt a Huthi surge that had seemed destined to allow the Shiite minority to seize control of the whole of Yemen, Saudi Arabia's Sunni-majority neighbor.
Riyadh said it was acting to restore the government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who has been holed up in Aden since fleeing the rebel-controlled capital Sanaa last month.
Iran has denied playing any part in the rebel power grab in Yemen, but government officials have criticized Hadi for revoking an offer to resign and accused him of stoking the crisis by fleeing Sanaa.
Y.R.
“Any joint Arab action is lauded if it is based on standards that guarantee (the interests of) everyone, reassure everyone and involve everyone,” Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil said, addressing a meeting for Arab FMs in Sharm el-Sheikh.
who is this boy kidding? did he use the same standards inside Lebanon when he and his failed party ruled Lebanon for more than 2 years under Miqati government!
He wants to guarantee the interests of his paymasters in Iran... who can blame him.
arab action ?!!!!! and since when there were a unified arab action ?!!!
golda maeir once burned aqsa mosque and she said : I did not sleep that night afraid to see arabs entering Israel in millions , but the next day at sunrise I realised we (Israel)can do anything we like cause we are in front of a sleeping omah
god bless democracy
Wise words indeed !!
As I said earlier, its time for KSA to get involved directly & stop hiding behind those it sponsors.....The real problem is between Iran & KSA.
Lets now hope these two backward nations who sponsor wars will meet themselves & sort it out.
Lets see who is wiling to go all out & who will back down.
But IMHO the region needs these two nations to sort it out face to face.
enough causing wars for other nations...
@the roar
The Saudis will lose. Not that I support Iran but I think the Iranians are smarter than the Saudis. The Saudis can only pay bribes so no one will touch them. They will be cornered soon wait and see
Coolmec, you might be right...But truly I careless about either, as both Iran & KSA have been causing wars in the region.
Now lets hope they engage & see what comes out of it.
Get used to the wise words of your future President, samy.
Jebran is Lebanon's future.
No I prefer iceman when he changes into Norma/ita
His houthi gauge hits heights never seen..
No my job is to pay for those unable to purchase food.
Come on in & visit...I'll buy you a happy meal.:)
phoenix is right calling you a liar @the_boar! KFC does not offer happy meals, I buy happy meal at McDonalds . You even lied to us about your job.
KFC doesn't have happy meals? damn, your old lady said she was very happy after the last meal I bought her & your other 25 siblings :)
lololololololol
lololol hahahahaha..watching this failed old man on TILT is Gold.
take some heart meds old man..I'm worried about you now.'
lololol
and finally that inexplicable helpless laugh indicating his tank is empty and he ran out of steam..... phoenix called your "number" spot on!
@the roar
I am replying to your above comment to which I agree 100$
screw them all
long live lebanon
Thank you coolmec..& sorry for nor replying sooner.
I got caught up with a fake PLO member using Bachir's avatar.
Poor Roar, no need to apologize to Coolmec, by the looks of it, you will be kept busy for quite a while.
Yes tric.portugal Lebanon Cristhian Army and Hezballah Shit Resistance Army must be prepared to the atack of the Saudi takfirs of Al-Nusra(Tripoli) in Lebanon... Whitout the Hezballah Resistance Army of the Shits of Lebanon the takfirs of Al-Nusra and IS would be in Lebanon Cristhian city(Jonieh) in Lebanon...
The Lebanese army has full control of Tripoli and there are no militias in the city. The same cannot be said of large areas in Lebanon (including the capital) that are controlled by a certain militia. Yours are the silliest of many silly comments by the pro-mullah sectarians here.
Southern - indeed you do exactly the same thing that you accuse Saudi Arabia of. Why then would you support the illegitimate takeover of a sectarian militia of the country and the overthrow of the government.
Bravo tic flea , so What did, Hariri do to make you hate him? Be frank and we will adopt your i logic As is on Nasroolah and Aoun an their clan ..nothing in common between them that will help the state, just helping each other to destroy the institutions from within.
Fouthie using verbal gymnastics to try to not upset his Iranian masters.
He knows very well the Arab world is united against Iran and their proxies.
Hezbollah is further alienating themselves from the Arab nations, and is now considered an enemy. This does not bode well for the Fouthie Proxie Movement, who has tied their canoe to the wrong boat.
No matter what he said, you would all be here saying its wrong!
Thank Goodness, the future of Lebanon doesn't depend on a few rag tag -has beens on a forum. same old posters..same old hate.
Pfft
Roar the liar, you called me again by names, Old Fossil one of them. man, when will you stop lying again, masalan in Australia, people are very late at night, you're still posting? Don't you have a life? Don't you have a job ya Kangahoutie? Now let's be honest, for those who missed my spanking you some 2 weeks ago, you're a LIAR, you live right here in Beirut. No one hates you poor thing, you are doing it all by yourself anyway, call me by whatever names you wish, I mean what would that make Aoun, a mummy. Or what about Hassan Nasrallah, shouldn't he too be an old fossil? No matter what, anything is better than being called a LIAR, which of course refers to you.
Phoenix ..old man is on TILT.
Reason...he got exposed that he has no Lebanese heritage whatsoever.
His father was an ex PLO & his mother Assyrian.
His use of Bachir is the biggest insult.
move along old man..
Oh you can be whatever you like old man..after all your on a forum.
But facts remain facts & you have been exposed.
ex-PLO daddy..Assyrian mommy...Bachir avatar to fit in here.
shameful .
But I better not respond to you, because you seem to be on TILT.
lol@ the TILT man.
I have no problems with Assyrians, why should I?
just stating some facts I received about that lying old man.
BTW Assyrians are not Lebanese, right?
There is some lebanese assyrian roar...
But anyway can u stop ur sectarian and fashist comments, try something more like a civilized conversation...
U , tric portugal and all the happy pro hezbollah band..start all talking like the europeen right wing parties (who where visiting ur dear friend putin those last days) and ur camp come lecture us about takfiri intolerant islamists and neonazi europeen leadders?....
Relax roar, take a chupachups, go have a walk....
where did I attack any Assyrians? Just facts about the old man Phoenix.
His parents are PLO & Assyrian. Yet he uses a Bachir avatar.
lol@PLO & Bachir in the same sentence.
Roar, the liar, I now have my confirmation that you're not only a blatant liar but also a stereotyper, you have that something in you that keeps mimicking people's posts, why? Dunno, but the worst part is this: You have something in you that says, Cheap, very cheap, you lack class, you lack flair, you're just very cheap and it shows. Your problem seems monumental to say the least because by the time you get over your chronic lying you would would be dead and gone. Anyway, whatever you touch, you make it feel cheap, this is something that is in you ya dear Roar and there's not much one can do to help you. Now it's late in your imaginary Australia, try some sleep coz you're getting most broaring as in boring, and boring cheap too.
You don;t get all worked up & stressed about me & when I should go to sleep
Maybe you should be more concerned about getting some closure & finding what happened to your ex-PLO daddy.
move along old timer...& please don;t forget your walking stick this time.
You said I've been exposed, very well then dear Boar, post proofs, pictures, IDs, anything in your possession about my being Balastinian. Truth is you've gone nuts as in peanuts, I called you liar, made the link between your lies and the Orange Room, used the word EXPOSED on you, now what? You are reduced to copy paste situations? I told you ya Boar, you are cheap, truly cheap, in every post it reflects in you, the more you try, the lower you go, this quite frankly has taken you to new lows. Now what do I see? A cheap coil-sprung Kangahoutie that has too much imagination, no integrity, in other words a liar? But the problem remains, that cheap side to you, too cheap. Bet you that you will repeat the same thing on me, OK, now here you go.
The person gone nutso is you old man...you're on TILT
please be careful not have a heart attack...then you'll never find your missing PLO daddy.
how many names you used to post today Bani? Yet you want to tell others whats right & wrong?
move along stalker.
Maroun, the Roar is a paid troll by the FPM forum known as the Orange Room, his only aim is to derail our forum and it shows.
so his name is Maroun now? since I exposed this PLO ..he wants to cling to anyone..even the person he used to loathe.
lol@ old man on his last legs begging for anyones approval.
Roar, and I quote, sorry to link it to the Orange Room again, "...they have some temperamental people at Naharnet, if they criticize us too much, the only way is to derail their threads by attacking them personally...", unquote. Now ya Borar, care to say something on this post of your there? isn't it now too evident that your mission is again to deflect criticism from your dear old Aoun by attacking us directly and personally? It was expected of you and your yellow friends to do it again, since today alone some 4 threads focused on Gebran and Aoun. Now please, for your own sake, stop lying and behave, that's all, or you'll roll on beans again.
No old timer, you called me out. So from here on, Me & you will get down & boogie....boogie woogie.
Some research came to light that I felt must be shared with the forum.
A son of a ex-PLO member & an Assyrian mommy is using a Bachir avatar to deceive the forum.
Now let the party rock...you up for it old lying son of a PLO?
Maroun in fact the Boar is paid by the FPM to derail. he spends a lot of time there posting loads of stuff and the thing is he never thought that his butt will be uncovered. I have long since detected that his posts had nothing to do with any topic especially when so critical of his Caporal Aoun. let everyone know the Roar who is a paid troll, he lives right here in Beirut, this Australia stuff is pure lies.
so his name is Maroun now? since I exposed this PLO ..he wants to cling to anyone..even the person he used to loathe.
lol@ old man on his last legs begging for anyones approval.
nobody ever believed him -phoenix1!
His grandfather was Lebanese, his father born in Australia, he was born in Australia but he spends his life on a lebanese political site. Hell, there are Lebanese immigrants who left 10 years ago and hardly follow Lebanese news. This guy defines the word fake.
Glad you listened liberty..seems you do keep records of everyone here.
all true btw..well done
Roar, don't worry for my ticker, it's doing very well thank you for your concern though, but about your posts at the Orange Room, please, care to quote, but please, without lies, just admit or stop lying.
Orange is your nightmare old man...get over it & go see where your ex-PlO daddy could be..check the camps...maybe Shaker or Assir could be of help to you..
Roar, just answer me straight, cut the show, you can dance till very late, about the Orange Room, just answer. Don't worry, it was clear you will dodge again, just a liar, cheap, very cheap. What time in fictional down under?
Its 5.23 am ..I will leave in 10 min...but how does that help you addressing your a son of a PLO member, using Bachir as your avatar?
The only liar is you old man..I have never visited any other forum but this..but you can distort all you like ..Now forget colours that give you nightmares & tell this forum why a son of a PLO member & an Assyrian mommy is using a Bachir avatar?
Please ya Roar, don't go, please stay, the fun has just begun, don't dash off like old man Aoun.
Ahh but if I'm 100th the man the General of generals is ..then I'd die a happy man.
You wouldn't understand PLO man...conversation for another day.
something you PLO would never understand..HONOR.
Roar, in one of your posts there you said, and I quote again, "Don't I love picking on them poor M14ers at the Na..net forum, I'm driving them crazy...", unquote. Now ya Boar, shall I copy and paste more of your lies? Shall I expose you more about your lame attempts to sabotage this forum? It's all in your hands, either you behave or more beans will spill.
I quote again, "...this Na..net forum, if only it didn't exist...they're so full of it,...but we will take it down one way or the other...", unquote. Roar you remember this? Do you wish to continue lying? You're cheap ya man, very cheap.
I very much like to continue...please show this false evidence you have.
Liars like you old man will always be exposed.
Can it get any worse than a son of a PLO member using Bachir as his avatar
one after the other they come...& like typical Arabs they can never fight one on one..unless theres 10 to 1 .
Roar, Beirut time is now 8:38 PM. Either you have no job, no life and indeed a paid troll by the FPM. Actually you are a paid troll by the FPM and I read that you said you were leaving, what happened, you can't take the pain or what? You're such a liar, Beirut is where you live, period.
Liberty, Roar is just lying his way, for someone who stayed till way past 5 AM Australia time, he sure is a night owl. He made us feel that he was on his way to work, when in fact he lives in Beirut. The FPM must be paying him some money to do all this lying and more lying and aiming to derail this forum best as he can try.
you might learn the world has moved from working dawn till dusk.
But I'll forgive your ignorance old man...
Just remember to relax & stop lying..using Bachir's avatar when indeed you were the people he fought...PLO Phoenix.
Ya habileh enta, ma I am giving you the evidence, even this you refuse to see? wloh, shou funnass.
No I have many choices..one of them is to expose a son of a PLO member using the avatar of Bachir.
Utter disgrace.
Roar, the paid troll of the FPM, it's almost 6 AM Australia time, how come you're still here? Liar, Beirut time is how you live and Beirut time is how you lie.
OK ya Roaring lair, expose me bleaze, in which camp do I live, bleaze, facts and proofs. Do they call me something like a nom de guerre? If it's PLO, which branch would that be? Yalla, spill them beans.
You live in no camp...But I suggest that's where you need to look to find you're roots.
Long live fake PLO members on this forum using Bachir's avatar.
You can post freely for next few days old man...unlike you..the weekend is for pleasure & leisure, not being an imposter on Naharnet.
i'll leave you on TILT...fossil.
Ah, Beirut time 9:04 PM. OK I don't live in a camp great generosity coming form you ya Roar. OK, so where do I live then. What's my Balastinian nom de guerre, surely I must have one, bleaze, any info you can provide the public whilst I have my dinner and you whislt you take your breakfast on the road, remember, you're supposed to be in Australia mou?
Roar, you have choices indeed, either a very strong coffee, or a cheers on beers, now, about that PLO thing, give us the name of the refugee camp, and my presumed nom de guerre,...I mean, anything you can undig, like those corpses some years ago that the Caporal claimed were buried under a highway in Lebanon, any info ya kezzeb?
Hi Ice, or quite possibly the Toar fell asleep over his virtual steering wheel, in his virtual car, during his virtual trip to work in his virtual country down under, lol, :). What a wanker though.
I know you guys are playing with him. But, you confirmed what I have thought for a long time and that is this character and a few others tend to attack posters on a personal level in order to divert the thread and never address the issue. It is interesting to read that you caught him on another forum revealing his strategy.
Justin, trust me, I am as best as I could trying to keep matters within the confines of decent engagement with Roar, so I will divulge only exerts of his posts. I used to bear it out with him taking in punches in the lower belly regularly, I thought, fine, OK, he has his views, maybe he does things over the top, but my patience hit a low ebb when I became more certain that it was him posting in the FPM forum. On the consideration that the FPM forum is heavily tainted and one-sided, given that Hezbollah doesn't have a forum as per se, given that our forums give them all free access to opinion, I see people like Roar biting the hand that feeds him or throwing stones into the well he drinks from. This is so common with Aoun's followers, in the sense that he led the way decades ago when we at the LF gave him weapons only to find out later that he used those same weapons to shoot at us. His partisans are doing the very same trashy thing, and it does make me react.
Justin, finally may I remind that I used to post regularly in the LF forum then later moved on to Sawte.com. Both forums took lots of blows from people like Roar though not under the same acronym, but the element of diverting attention from topics was definitely there, anyone could sense it, provocation, slurs, insults on the personal level to the point several LF posters like myself eventually got bans, the LF forum was the worst to be honest with Mods well below par. When I see people attempting to do the same here in Naharnet, it would be sinful of me to remain quiet, given the fact that I've seen what happens to Pro-M14 forums that allow such FPM/ Hezbollah/M8 trolls to disrupt if not derail and entire good forum. In all honesty, I personally urge the Naharnet mods to remain vigilant. The Roar is a confirmed troll and very close to the Aoun family. He will deny till kingdom come, he will try to create stories, but some facts are too eerily close to verifiable reality.
I agree phoenix. It is really disturbing to see this behavior. When I posted less than 4 hours ago the votes on this article were completely different and I noticed a deliberate attempt by someone or someones to make the votes somehow balanced. Also, notice how these insulting and offensive names come up just to call people names. Anyway, not to worry. I guess it is a sign of weakness when people have to resort to these cheap methods. Have a good day
(1). To cap it off whilst hoping that I am not overstaying my welcome in this thread, speaking for myself, I have nothing personal against the Roar or anyone else for that matter. One could easily see me engaging M8 partisans on very sensitive issues whereby we are poles apart, yet hardly ever has the decorum been broken. Roar could easily air his views in as open and frank a manner, but definitely without resorting to personal attacks or name-calling, or creating such silly stories like my being of Palestinian origins. In fact come to think of it, do we all want to sound the same? Personally I hope not, we all need to hear from each other with the aim of bridging gaps between us, and the best of it all is that we can remain good friends.
(2). Believe me when I say that if and when I'll meet with people like Mystic, or Mowaten or Southern or Karim masalan, I will hold for them all fraternal affection and absolutely NO animosity of any kind, they have their views and so do I. It all remains to be seen if Roar can understand this simple requirement and this forum will vibrate with exceptional intelligent debates.
