Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil said Monday that the refugee crisis is their biggest challenge.
During the EU-Arab League conference in Brussels, Bassil noted that the political solution in Syria will be a matter of division between those who link the return of the refugees and Syria’s reconstruction to this solution and those who do not rely on such link, adding that this is a problematic that will not end anytime soon, “and together, we will pay the price of the waste of time.”
“Lebanon asks you to understand its situation and provide assistance, so that the country can remain the message in the East, a message of diversity, pluralism and coexistence,” he said, Lebanon cannot survive under the idea of integrating the Syrians within its communities, which poses a real threat.
