Arab Summit urges Lebanon to elect president

The closing statement of the 32nd Arab Summit that was held in Jeddah lauded “the efforts that Lebanon has exerted to properly host the displaced Syrians.”

The statement also “welcomed the Arab stances that are in line with Lebanon’s stance, which calls for intensifying and expediting the efforts of returning the displaced Syrians to their country after the circumstances became more appropriate for their return.”

Separately, the statement urged Lebanese authorities to “continue their efforts to elect a president and form a government as soon as possible.”

Moreover, the statement underlined “the importance and need to differentiate between terrorism and resistance against the Israeli occupation, which is a right enshrined in international conventions and the principles of international law.”

The closing statement of the Arab Summit also mentioned the right of the Lebanese to liberate or recover the Shebaa Farms, the Lebanese Kfarshouba Hills and the Lebanese part of the Ghajar village and their right to resist any aggression with the legitimate means.”
