Foreign Affairs Minister Gebran Bassil stated on Wednesday that there is a clear plan to keep displaced Syrians in Lebanon, pointing out that all officials should not accept any document that changes the status of Syrians in Lebanon from displaced citizens to refugees.
During the “All For Education” conference organized by the Ministry of Education, Minister Bassil noted that Lebanon is paying the price of its adherence to human rights, adding the international community should bear the responsibility its failure to resolve the said dossier.
For his part, Education Minister Elias Bou Saab noted that Syrian children should be given proper education for the duration of their stay in Lebanon.
“Educating these children is not our sole responsibility. We need assistance to overcome this challege,” Bou Saab said.
