President Michel Suleiman addressed the Francophonie Summit in Montreux on Saturday by stressing that Lebanon will not accept any Middle East peace that comes at Beirut’s expense nor will it permit the naturalization of Palestinian refugees in the country, according to a statement issued Saturday by the president’s office.

he added that lasting peace in the Middle East requires a just and comprehensive solution, he added.

He said while the Arabs have decided to go for peace , Israel opted for rejection. He was referring to 2002 Arab peace initiative .

Regarding the borders with Israel he said

“Lebanon is seeking to ensure the implementation of (U.N. Security Council) Resolution 1701 in all its stipulations … as well as to unify the elements that constitute our national capabilities in the face of challenges and Israeli threats.”

He saluted the Francophonie nations that are part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

Addressing the tension inside Lebanon he said:

“Lebanon is working on reinforcing its legitimate institutions and preserving its domestic stability and the pillars of national accord and consensual democracy which are the foundations of the Lebanese regime.”

Suleiman was elected as vice president of the summit.

    lebanon is too small to absorbe that many refugees it si almost 15 % of the population
    it is the same like you are telling iran to accept 14 millions refugees (15% of there populatipon)
    they wo,nt even accept 1% of palestinians
    there are two soutions that i recommend
    1- build the palestinian a sate im north egypt 2000 square mile 1/2 of the size of the state of lebanon
    money comes from the un abbas will agree – when homes and civilization is built and given free for the palestinian that migrate to the new palestine state in north egypt forthe first 7 years they will be migrating and they will be happy specially when they are able to take their families with them and the ones they come after 7 years they will have to buy there own homes and land
    2- divide the number of 400,000 palestinian who live in lebanon into 20 arab states that leaves each state of 20,000 refugees
    and lebanon will keep 20,000 refugees its share 20,000 palestinian refugees
