Gemayel: We Fear Syrian Army Being Granted New Opportunities in Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel slammed on Wednesday the infiltration of the Syrian army into Lebanese territory in the Arsal region on Tuesday, describing as a “very dangerous” development.
He said after meeting the Czech and Egyptian ambassadors to Lebanon: “We fear that the Syrian army is being granted new opportunities in Lebanon.”
He stressed that United Nations Security Council 1559, which was agreed upon by Lebanon and Syria, stipulates that the Syrian army should withdraw from Lebanon, “So what is the meaning of its return to Lebanon?”
“Tuesday’s events are a dangerous violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and for now, we will not ask the Lebanese government to file a complaint to the U.N. Security Council over this matter,” Gemayel said.
“The government is obligated to offer an explanation to the Lebanese people over what happened, but what are the measures it has taken so far?” he wondered.
“The Syrian ambassador to Lebanon should be summoned in order to explain his country’s actions,” he stressed.
“We will not remain silent over this matter and the public must be informed of all its details,” Gemayel added.
On Tuesday, Syrian tanks crossed the Lebanese border and headed towards the region of Arsal in the Bekaa where they fired at an abandoned battery factory.
They also attacked the house of two Lebanese citizens, Zahri and Abdel Aziz al-Jabawi.

- hizbushaitan is not a resistance, it is a tools for the syro/iranian goons
- our president and its government are traitors for being silent against these acts.
- Aoun and other hizbushaitan followers are traitors.
they should be judged for high traison.

The current president violated all ethics that the previouse presidents were keen on, after his speech in the UN in Arabic read from a piece of paper and when he met with Obam he had a translator, Why? Shame, this the worst president Lebanon ever seen. Complain to the UN or invade Syria, Lebanon have the army

I am not so sure about new opportunities, but Sunni crazies must be pursued by everyone, and all the way to the end of the earth. No mercy.

For how long must the Lebanese suffer at the greedy hands of the Syrian Government. For how many years did they kill and torture Lebanese politicians, soldiers and even civilians. How many politicians have fallen at the hands of the filthy Syrian Mukhabarat. Let us not forget Bachir Gemayel, Rafik Hariri, Gebran Tueni. Let us not forget what the Syrians did to us. The same goes for Israel. In conclusion, Lebanon has shit neighbours.
