Miqati: Lebanon Unanimous on Rejection to Naturalize Palestinians
2011-06-29
[An Nahar] Premier Najib Miqati reiterated on Tuesday Leb's "unanimous" decision to reject the naturalization of Paleostinians but vowed to provide them with the "necessary attention" to resolve their plight.

During talks with the Paleostinian president's envoy, Azzam al-Ahmed, Miqati said: "The Lebanese government will work to give the humanitarian and social issues of Paleostinians in the refugee camps the necessary attention in cooperation with involved international agencies."

Miqati said however that "Leb unanimously rejects the naturalization of Paleostinians in Leb and holds onto their right of return home to an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital."

Warning about the Israeli danger, the prime minister said the Jewish state's "violations and attacks should provide the Lebanese with the incentive to heed the continued danger that Israel poses on Leb and push them towards national unity."

He told the envoy that the Paleostinian cause should be at the top of the priorities of Arab and Islamic countries.

Paleostinian unity also gives the different factions the required "immunity" to confront Israel, Miqati said.

#4  Meanwhile, as per IRAN ...

* DRUDGEREPORT AM > IRAN TESTS NUKE MISSLES | IRAN SECRETLY TESTED "NUCLEAR-CAPABLE MISSLES".

and

* SAME > [KSA Prince-Diplomat Turkic al-Faisal]SAUDI PRINCE WARNS: WE WILL WILL BUILD NUKES IFF IRAN GETS THEM | RIYADH WILL BUILD NUCLEAR WEAPONS IFF GETS THEM.

Prince Turkic al-Faisal is essens repeating the 2008 warning by King Abdullah to the US-West as per the START OF A REGION-WIDE NUCLEAR ARMS RACE, INCLUD BUT NOT LIMITED TO SAUDI ARABIA, IFF IRAN DE FACTO ACQUIRES NUCWEAPS.

ARTIC, SAUDI ROYALS' WARNINGS also read, NUCLEAR DEFENSE AGZ ANTI-GOVT/ESTABLISHMENT ASYMMETRIC NUCLEAR MILITANCY-TERRORISM.

It takes a Nuke to deter or defeat a Nuke???

#3  IMO just more evidencia among many that even iff the Paleos get their sovereign state, the burden will be mostly or wholly on Israel to econ care for them.

ARAB-MUSLIM HISTORY = the main/primary opponents to the success of any new PA State in the ME won't besomuch the Israelis, but other neighboring Muslim Govts-States.
