He added : “ I think this is not acceptable of the Arabs nor will the Lebanese accept such as scenario "

Lebanon has been without a president since November 23 , 2007 and the ruling majority has accused Syria of blocking the vote for a new president . The Arab summit in Damascus is for the heads of Arab states.

Siniora emphasized his support for the Arab initiative and considers it the only serious initiative under consideration , and “we must all strive our best to implement it ." he said

Siniora, in an interview with the German Deutsche Velle Channel at the end of his talks in the German capital Berlin with Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier said: "It should be perfectly clear that we consider Israel an enemy, and any act of aggression by Israel will be confronted with a unified Lebanese front that will defend Lebanon against Israel “

Siniora warned : “Israel should know that any adventure against Lebanon will not be a picnic at all, because whatever the differences between the Lebanese , once we are attacked we become one body. "

He added: "Israel must draw lessons from the past experiences of the wars against Lebanon … it consistently failed to achieve its goals . Lebanon may be too small a country , but too big to be undermined or swallowed "

Siniora expressed his belief that the time has come for Israel to realize that a just and comprehensive peace in the region is the only solution and should therefore withdraw from all the areas they occupied and agree to a just solution for the Palestinian problem.

in an another interview with al Arabiyeh , the prime minister pointed out that “Lebanese society is diverse by nature and we do have different opinions but this should not prevent us from sitting down and talking to one another "

Siniora also pointed out : "We did not get Syria out of Lebanon replace it with the French or the Americans". This was in reference to the attacks by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah accusing the majority of siding with the west

Siniora also stressed that the "sectarian conflict is the worst thing that could happen to Lebanon. " This was in reference to the talks about a civil war involving the Muslim Sunnites and Muslim Shiites "

Siniora believes that adhering to the Taef accord is the answer to the Lebanon crises . This was in reference to the demand by Hezbollah to have one third share in the government . According to the Taef accord the government should be equally divided by the Christians ( all sects ) and Muslims ( all sects )
