“Not issuing a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements is a negative step in the Middle East peace process,” President Michel Sleiman said on Monday according to a statement issued by his press office.

During his meeting with a committee from the Netherlands’ parliament, Sleiman voiced the importance of Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territories and of implementing the UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

The delegation’s visit to Lebanon is the first of its kind, the statement said, adding that it aims to discuss the situation in the region.

Sleiman also discussed bilateral relations and latest Lebanese and regional developments with British Ambassador to Lebanon Frances Guy.

Last week, US President Barack Obama’s administration used its first veto in the United Nations Security Council against condemning Israeli settlements, an action that angered Palestinians and dealt a blow to Washington’s efforts to forge a Palestinian state this year.

The Palestinian issue is broader than just territorial. All ARab countries should extend a hand to help solve the issue in the most diplomatic way possible.

Also, if you’re a self-absorbed ultra-realist, if you fix the Palestinian crisis, you won’t have the refugee camp issues in Lebanon.

The Arab dictators won’t resolve this issue because it works toward their advantage. This is how they divert attention of the people to, away from their stealing and murders
