The Foreign Affairs Ministry released Saturday a statement whereby it denounced the "attacks and air raids against the Syrian Arab Republic, which constitute a flagrant breach of the sovereignty of a sister Arab country and a violation of international pacts and conventions."
The statement deemed it more prudent to have conducted a transparent and objective investigation by the International Agency for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, followed by the adoption of a UN legitimate resolution by the international institutions before the implementation of any military strike. Moreover, the Foreign Ministry statement highlighted Lebanon's continuous support to prohibiting the use of chemical weapons by any side and punishing its users; as well as preventing the possession of all types of mass destruction weapons and their use in any military confrontation, especially nuclear weapons specifically owned by Israel.
