Lebanese Foreign Minister Jean Obeid has called the forthcoming Islamic Summit, scheduled to be held in Kuala Lumpur, to condemn the Israeli aggression on Syria and Lebanon as well as the US threats against them.

Before his departure to Malaysia to take part in the Organization of Islamic Conference's foreign ministers' meetings, Obeid said that Israel violates the international law and the international resolutions by its aggression on Syrian lands and by its daily brutal practices against Palestinians.

Meanwhile, Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Fouad Sadeq Mufti said that any Israeli aggression on Syria and Lebanon is an aggression on Saudi Arabia.

In a statement following his meeting with former Lebanese Parliament Speaker Hussein al - Husseini, Sadeq added that Saudi Arabia couldn't stand aside in case of any aggression expressing Saudi Arabia's rejection of the Israeli endeavors to violate Syria's and Lebanon's security and stability.

Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic al-Hariri, for his part, stressed that Israel seeks, through its aggressive practices, to create a new situation in the region. Hariri said that Israeli Prime Minister Sharon seeks to launch a war in the region.
