Social Affairs Minister Rashid Derbas stressed on Monday that Prime Minister Tammam Salam has refused to discuss the issue of naturalizing refugees with the U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon during his visit to Lebanon.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi stressed on Sunday that the failure to elect a president destroys Lebanon's unity and makes it an open ground for the naturalization of refugees.

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat said on Sunday that the measures taken by Gulf countries against Lebanon were the result of fiery statements made by Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the ill-defined stances of Foreign Minster Jebran Bassil.

“The Gulf measures against Lebanon were the result of the convulsive statements made by Nasrallah and the ambiguous stances of Bassil,” Jumblat told the daily al-Arab in an interview.

March 14 General Secretariat Coordinator Fares Soaid urged Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil to take advantage of his friendship with Syrian President Bashar Assad and Hizbullah in order to convince them to stop killing the Syrians so they do not flow into Lebanon for shelter, al-Mustaqbal daily reported on Sunday.

“The first thing that the Lebanese must do to counter the influx of Syrians is to urge the Foreign Minister to talk to the friends of Bashar, that is Hizbullah, who is killing the people in Syria and to ask the Syrian regime itself to stop killing its people so they do not flow into Lebanon,” Soaid stated to the daily.
