Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi stressed Saturday that “the case of the abducted troops is a priority for the Lebanese government, the security and military apparatuses as well as the political sectors,” noting that all efforts will be deployed in order to release the Lebanese soldiers.
During his meeting with the families of the abducted troops at the tent they set up on the Qalamoun highway, Rifi pointed out that “this case constitutes a dark spot in the course of the Syrian revolution and will affect the future relations between Lebanon and Syria.”
