Mansour: Palestine vote is Lebanon’s top priority at UN

Share:

Foreign Affairs Minister Adnan Mansour told a local radio station Monday that voting for the recognition of a Palestinian state will be one of Lebanon’s priorities once it takes over the helm at the United Nations Security Council next month.

“When Lebanon heads the Security Council in September, one of its first priorities will be to vote in favor of a Palestinian state along with the Arab states and other countries in the world,” Mansour said , adding that this would commence after Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas proceeds to New York with his proposal.

As a result of the failure of negotiations with Israel , Abbas has vowed to approach the United Nations General Assembly on Sep. 20 to formally request recognition of a Palestinian state will full U.N. membership status, despite U.S opposition.

Abbas expressed hope Monday that Lebanon, which will hold the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the month of September, would play an active role in his bid for the full membership at the United Nations.

Although over 100 countries have already recognized the Palestinian state, full membership of the U.N. requires the backing of the 15-member Security Council before approval by the General Assembly. The United States, a permanent member at the Security Council, has already stated its intention to veto the proposal.

The Palestinian president is due to arrive in Beirut on Tuesday to meet with the top Lebanese leaders. President Michel Suleiman will be hosting an iftar in his honor.

During his two-day visit to Lebanon, Abbas is expected to raise the Palestinian flag over the new Palestinian Embassy in Beirut Wednesday before another iftar in his honor that will be hosted by PM Nagib Mikati at the Grand Serail.

        He or she doesn’t consider himself an Arab because the integrity of being a true Arab is not really shown.  Don’t waste your time with these kind of people. 5thdrawer might have a good heart but he is using it for the wrong purpose.

        Most the people on this site are brainwashed, I understand them because I was once part of it. They need to understand world politics in order to understand Lebanon. If they don’t then they will not understand anything about Lebanon or the region.

          some time i feel that i loose my time but 5th drawer isn’t a shaytan he looks for the true unfortunatly in a wrong manner

        3.  That ‘s funny, since you speak as a brainwashed person influenced by radical ideologies and fake conspiracy theories around every corner.

        4.  I used to be brainwashed  somewhat years ago.  Now that is behind me. Most people on this site are fortunately not brainwashed. We have our eyes open and respect facts and truth more than fake conspiracy theories or radical ideologies. Truly, Lebanon has suffered enough, enough with oppression, enough with war….Halas!

    Vote for the Palestinian state and give them a country already. We already suffered enough from them being here.

    It’s either that or Israel should accept a binational state.

    2.  John, again, you fail to look at factual history. First of all, Israel’s land was already divided. There was a two-state “solution” (funny how every time people talk about a “solution” it is always at the Jews expense. Wwhen will these people fight back and say enough is enough?) which Faisal ( فيصل بن حسين بن علي الهاشمي) signed off on.  That action took 78% of the Jews’ land and created yet another Arab state in the region, today, is called Jordan. 

      Don’t you think a people giving up 78% of their land should be left alone, already?   So if the answer is not to integrate them and teach them human values, then deport them to Jordan.

      Furthermore, it is hard for me to say the next part…but it is the truth, so I must say it.  A sign of an adult is taking responsibility for his or her actions. Lebanon did help create the problem of the so-called “palis”.  Lebanon more than once joined other armies in the region starting in 1948 to utterly destory Israel.  The Arab leaders told the population in Israel to leave and make room for the army to kill all the Jews and then come back and divide up their property.   Sometimes, ones sins comes back to haunt oneself.

      Furthermore, besides the minority who had conquered and took land which didn;t beling to them hundred(s) of years before. There were recent economic migrants, too, starting in the late 1890’s but mainly from1920’s up until 1948. So many had only arrived in Israel months or a handful of years prior… from where?   Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and North Africa, hence the many of the surnames such as Moghrabi, Maghroubi, Al-Masri etc…

      If you don’t believe me, then perhaps you will believe THEIR WORDS:

      “The people are in great need of a ‘myth’ to fill their consciousness and imagination….”

      – Musa Alami, 1948

      “There
      is no such country [as Palestine]! ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists
      invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for
      centuries part of Syria.”

      – Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937

      “Since
      1948 it is we who demanded the return of the refugees… WHILE IT IS WE WHO MADE THEM LEAVE…. We brought disaster upon … Arab refugees, by
      inviting them and bringing pressure to bear upon them to leave…. We
      have rendered them dispossessed…. We have accustomed them to
      begging…. We have participated in lowering their moral and social
      level…. Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson,
      and throwing bombs upon … men, women and children–all this in the
      service of political purposes….”

      – Khaled Al-Azm, Syria’s Prime Minister after the 1948 war

      in the opinion of Hafez al-Assad-
      “You
      do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one
      point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian People, there is no
      Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the
      Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is
      we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the
      Palestinian people.”

      – Syrian President Hafez Assad to PLO leader Yassir Arafat (Born in EGYPT).

      “According
      to the Phased Plan, we will establish a Palestinian state on any part
      of Palestine that the enemy will retreat from. The Palestinian state
      will be a stage in our prolonged struggle for the liberation of
      Palestine on all of its territories.”

      – Abu Iyad, Arafat’ s second-in-command, 1988

        1. I dodn’t want to bring religion into this, just facts and history.  but, YOU ASKED FOR IT. This is as far as I am going to go into religion.   Sura 5: 20-21  of the Qur’an. Says that the land of Israel belongs  to the Jews. So get over your hatred and start being a partner to Lebanon (not the traitorous shadow government) and to humanity.
