Beirut
The ruling March 14 coalition expressed fears that the Hizbullah-led opposition could escalate the situation that could lead to re-closure of the airport road while feuding leaders hold talks in Doha in a bid to end the long-running political crisis in Lebanon.
But Arab mediators quickly calmed the majority's fears, arguing that it would not be in the interest of the opposition to block the airport highway since this passage will also be used by anti-government leaders upon return from Doha. Then the majority leaders told the Qatari Prime Minister that opposition chiefs could use their airport since it is under their control while preventing access to the majority. It was then that the Arab delegation told the majority that in the event their return was not possible "we will all of us head to the Arab League in Cairo and suggest that it dispatches an Arab force to keep peace alongside the Lebanese army in Beirut and vital facilities." |
