REPORT: President Aoun says Lebanon will not allow resettlement of any refugee
President Michel Aoun delivered on Thursday a speech at the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly.
 
During his speech, Aoun referred to the Israeli repeated violations of the Lebanese sovereignty, referring to recent incidents, including an Israeli strike on Syria launched from Lebanese airspace.
 
"These violations are not new," he added.

Aoun turned to the Palestinian refugee community in Lebanon, saying that “no serious efforts are being deployed by the UN for a two-state solution in the Middle East.”
 
He also stressed that Lebanon will not permit any resettlement of refugees.
 
President Aoun also said that the Syrian state is now in control of “85 percent of its territory,” emphasizing that “there is an urgent need to organize the return of refugees to their country.”
 
“The claim that refugees will not be safe if they return to their homeland is an unacceptable excuse,” Aoun said.
 
“The UN is better help the refugees return instead of helping them to stay in camps  that lack the least requirements of decent life,” he added.
 
On another note, Aoun referred to the International community’s failure in preventing Israel from establishing new settlements.
 
This as Aoun concluded his speech by nominating Lebanon to bea “permanent, UN-affiliated center for dialogue among various cultures, religions and races.”
