Gemayel Warns that Lebanon May Pay Price of Changes in Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel stressed the need to fortify the internal Lebanese scene against any political or security development in Syria, reported the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Sunday.
He stressed the need “to take in the dangerousness of the developments in Syria in order to avert having Lebanon pay the price of the changes in the neighboring country.”
“The situation in Lebanon is worrying because any development in Syria will not radically change the balance of power in Lebanon as long as the main political powers maintain their positions and regional presence,” he remarked to al-Hayat.
Some sides in Lebanon believe they can exploit the changes in Syria to their benefit without taking into consideration that the changes may in fact harm the country, warned Gemayel.
The Lebanese government has been adopting a policy of disassociation from the developments in Syria ever since anti-regime protests broke out in the neighboring country in March 2011.

"Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel stressed the need to fortify the internal Lebanese scene against any political or security development in Syria,..."
And yet Gemayel will not advocate a return to parliament even for a new election law. Total hypocrisy ...

Regardless of what is going in Syria, United we stand and Divided we fall. When the power of love overcomes the love of power Lebanon will be strong and healthy again.
Merry Christmas everyone.
