Suleiman Declares Support for Urgent Arab League Summit

29-12-2008
Less than two hours following Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah speech before protesters against Gaza massacres in Beirut's southern suburb, Lebanese President Michel Suleiman responded positively.
Indeed, President Suleiman declared on Monday support for an urgent Arab League summit to be convened as soon as possible to handle the Palestinian cause following the "Israeli" massacres committed in the Gaza strip.
Suleiman also expressed deep regret for the lack of Arab solidarity with Gaza. He expressed, meanwhile, relief over the united Palestinian stance in Lebanon.
Sayyed Nasrallah has called on Suleiman as a consensus president to spare no effort to push for holding the Arab summit because some sides are already trying to frustrate it. "Today, Lebanon's position should support Gaza and should not take the same side as this or that Arab regime," his eminence said. "The president is cognizant of Lebanon's triumphant experience in 2006 and based on this he is requested to play a central role and hear his brave voice in support of the oppressed Palestinian people in any summit just as we heard him in the conference for the dialogue of religions," Sayyed Nasrallah added.
