France: Lebanon should end the war rumors

French Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bernard Valero said during his weekly press conference: “For months everyone was talking about the turbulent situation on the Lebanese borders and then strangely, everyone became quiet, and then the rumors restarted.”

He added: “We do not believe in the voices that call for war in a critical region. The rumors that warn of a war will not settle the region’s problems.”

He stressed his country’s commitment to Lebanon, and repeated its call for all sides to respect the Lebanese-Israeli border, noting that this commitment is “embodied in France’s participation in UNIFIL.”

Furthermore, he said that French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner’s recent visit to Lebanon and Syria nearly a month ago was aimed at voicing France’s diplomatic commitment to Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian causes.

“We are placing all possible efforts to guarantee an improvement in the situations but in order for this to be possible, all sides must search for solutions to the problems, and it is on this note that we believe that rumors of a war must stop,” Valero stressed. Naharnet

israel needs to focus on its internal strife and leave lebanon alone.

lebanon needs to get rid of the palestinian weaponry in the camps cos as long as meaningless rockets fly to israel, israel will blame lebanon.

syria needs to negotiate with israel directly once and for all and deal with whatever disputes they have together.

HA is not to issue any statements without the consent of the president.

HA is to only engage israel under thelebanese govt’s orders only and not independent of lebanese concerns.

israel needs to respect resolution 1701 and stop flying in our air space as thats causing confrontation.

rumors are only caused when certain elements are not being followed. its obvious israel wants a war to bring back the pride it lost in 2006 and HA is under the illusion that it thinks it can actually destroy israel which wont happen.

both sides will lose a lot of infrastrucutre but neither will eradicate the other.

lebanon needs to keep going forward with its unity and trade agreements and HA needs to become a team player as well as all the MPs.

too many drama queens in libon and now with the underwears going back and forth to syria on a daily basis, their master has set this fear in them to keep them tight and snug to his privates. as usual, syria starts the rumors and then it turns into reality by the dumb libonais out of fear.

Nothing will happen for several years
