Suleiman Warns against Unilateral Israeli Decision over Maritime Borders
President Michel Suleiman warned Israel against taking any unilateral decision that may violate international law concerning the maritime borders.
“Lebanon is ready to defend its territories, land and maritime borders with all the possible and legal ways,” he told his visitors on Monday.
The president stressed: “This issue should be discussed at cabinet, which holds its first meeting on Thursday, to take the official stance that preserves Lebanon’s sovereignty on its land and resources.”
Suleiman later held a meeting with Interior Minister Marwan Charbel.
The meeting tackled the security situation in the country and the measures taken by the ministry during the tourism season.
He then discussed local political developments with MP Akram Shehayeb.
