  • Former Lebanese President: Who fund war against Syria must rebuild it
    Former Lebanese President Michel Aoun.

Lebanese Former President Michel Aoun said that Lebanon, in coordination and agreement with Syria, returned 500,000 displaced Syrians to their homes, indicating that the Syrians breaking Lebanese law are not considered political refugees.

Aoun stressed that "most European countries do not want to return the displaced Syrians to their country," pointing out that the attempts made by some countries to integrate them into Lebanese society is "a dangerous matter."

Likewise, Aoun believed that "whoever destroyed Syria and funded the war against it must start rebuilding it." An estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees currently reside in Lebanon, while only 900 thousand are registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, most of whom suffer from difficult living conditions.

In turn, the head of the Free Patriotic Movement in Lebanon, Gebran Bassil, called for "benefiting from the Saudi-Iranian-Syrian understanding to secure a decent and dignified return for the displaced Syrians."

Bassil pointed out that "one of the goals of the Israeli project, with its Western extensions and racist essence, was displacing the Palestinians, sowing divisions and fragmentation."

Lebanese Minister of Social Affairs in the caretaker government, Hector Hajjar, said earlier this week that the government "will ask the High Commissioner for Displaced Affairs, and within a maximum period of one week from its date, to provide the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities with all the data it possesses regarding displaced Syrians...provided that the status of a displaced person is revoked from Syrians leaving the Lebanese territory and that security services be requested to strictly pursue violators and prevent the entry of Syrians through illegal means."

Hajjar requested that security services be strict in pursuing violators and prevent the entry of Syrians through illegal means. He also asked the Ministries of Interior and Municipalities and Social Affairs to carry out their legal requirements in terms of registering the births of Syrians on Lebanese territory, in coordination with the High Commissioner for Displaced Affairs, calling the presence of displaced Syrians in Lebanon a ticking time bomb.
