NNA - National News Agency correspondent stated today that the caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Abdallah Bou Habib, focused during the consultative meeting between the Arab foreign ministers on the "displaced Syrians" issue, pointing to "the Lebanese burdens, especially resulting from this displacement."
Bou Habib said: "The international community is still without a road map for the return of the displaced," stressing that "in the absence of an action plan, Lebanon will be forced to act in accordance with the dictates of the supreme national interest."
He added: "Lebanon is collapsing financially and economically, and we are unable to secure the basic needs of the Lebanese, and the government sees the need for the return of the displaced to be financed by the international community, instead of financing their stay in Lebanon."
