Saudi, Syrian leaders urge Lebanese to avoid violence

Share:

In a statement following the historic summit in Lebanon between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad , Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz and Lebanese president Michel Suleiman the leaders urged Lebanese parties to avoid resorting to violence in the face of mounting political tension in the country.

“The leaders stressed the importance of stability… the commitment of the Lebanese not to resort to violence and the need to place the country’s interests above all sectarian interests,” the statement that was released by the presidential office added.

The statement also voiced the importance of “resorting to legal institutions and Lebanon’s unity government to resolve any differences.”

Assad gave a thumbs up after the talks and said, “The discussions were excellent.”

The purpose of the visit by the Syrian president and Saudi monarch was to defuse the tension over reports of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) impending indictment against members of Hezbollah for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani also arrived in Beirut on Friday night and is expected to meet with top Lebanese officials.

Saudi Arabia’s king and Syria’s president arrived in Beirut aboard the same plane at about 2 pm Beirut time Friday and left Beirut four hours later

    Thanks for the advice. Stop meddling in our affairs and siding with h/a in the name of diffusing a potential strife. The more you keep on fueling it and talking about it, the more likely is going to happen. You have your own problem in syria and saudi arabia, please go take care of your own problems and keep them away from Lebanon.

    Yes thank you for coming but in the end of the day let’s see how will Hezbollah will react after their members and leaders after being vindicated? Sept. is a long way so all these verbal agreements now will fade and Besides do not forget that Iran makes the decision for Nassrallah. So if they want war against israel and the west because of sanctions, then none of these welcoming talks will do anything. Hezbollah is split between Syria and Iran. The ones who support Iran have much bigger influence and they tip the balance of war and peace in lebanon and at the borders. But i hope peace will prevail and everyone acts responsibily for the sake of lebanon and lebanese.. All we can do is hope and pray for the Peace..

    this is a good day in lebanon when leaders are visiting lebanon as an indpdet country. i could care less about the trivial little things posters are comenting like go home and whatever and one family regime. harp all you ant and that regime is staying and we have to work with it.

    this is a monumental day for lebanon when leaders are showing support for lebanon’s independence. the fact that bashar assad stepped foot in lebanon as an invited guest speaks volumes.

    i dont care what happens behind closed doors with syrian intel meddling with lebanese intel. its gonna happen but hwat icare about is not seeing syrian troops in lebanon ever again.

    HA will eventually disarm and be absorbed into the lebanese army but there are so many frameworks and governmental laws and chacks and balances that need to be addressed before that happens.

    will HA ever disarm? it would be absolutely stupid for any intelligent person to not think so.

    when we have gained the confidence of the shiites who we neglected pre 82, then and only then will we see one army.

    Tony A Yes Mr. Nassrallah will disarm nothing is eternal like who will imagine the collapse of Soviet Regime, but my only hope is if they are smart should do so peacfully so the rest of Lebanese will forget and forgive .But powerful people normally do not disarm without a fight.

      rafik, their only fight that i see right now is to see lebanon united and strong. they have to be very careful now as to how they use their might as they are stepping in soft sand and they know it.

      if you think i don’t them to disarm then shoot me please.

      i want them to disarm but they can’t when lebanon is still a shamble and in complete disarray.

      there are so many things that need to be addressed before we even begin to think avout disarming a force that will protect lebanon against israeli aggression.

      disarm the palestinians in the camps and that will be a step towards calm between lebanon and israel. deal with the shebaa farms and many other issues that will prevent future attacks from israel and we will see HA disarm.

      the IRA disarmed eventually after they entered the political scene and so will HA. its not their time yet and everybody knows it.

      some MPs love causing strife (byitmanyakoo)and keep pointing to HA cos they dont wanna relinquish power of their own to make it equal for everybody so they keep pushing HA buttons.

      they keep thinking that by relinquishing some power, their people will suffer or they will be eradicated and it aint gonna happen. they’re still in war mode as well.

      as an outsider i can see this and i only shake my head everytime i see it happening.

      thats why i always call on everybody to sit at the table and keep hashing out all the points till you come to an agreement on something.

    joey i will address several points that you have pointed out.

    fyi gaegae still doesn’t listen to anybody.

    HA has very good points when it comes to passing laws in the gov’t. we only hear the bad news cos it travels faster.

    israel was shamed in 2006 so sorry that i disagree with you that they can invade 3 countries. their time is coming up cos the oppressed are smartening up.

    HA doesn’t intimidate me and the shia people are very humble – at least the ones i met.

    these few rockets shamed israel so imagine what 40,000 will do. i don’t even like HA bro but they’re lebanese and we must all treat them like family.

    i’m sorry that i preach love and unity but its the only way lebanon will eventually come together as a people when all the militia families separate church and religion and put on the lebanese T shirts like that hot chick, boy was she ever so cute.

    get 20,000 of those girls from all religions walking down beirut and i’ll chop my right hand (cos i write with my left) and you tell me who will dare to fire a shot at them lol.

    i love lebanon and i hate that HA is treated as an outsider. thats all. they’re lebanese man.
