On the Arab meeting tomorrow in Damascus

The Lebanese daily al-Safir issued today said that that international pressures are being made to make the Damascus ministerial meeting ( at the level of foreign ministers to be convened tomorrow in Damascus) to follow up the resolutions of the recent Arab summit to resort to decisions that calm down matters.

The paper said that intensive international pressure and contacts are concentrating on Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt and other effective countries in the region, so as the results of the Arab ministerial meeting in Damascus will be inclined to intensify efforts aiming at self- control, moderation and resorting to the language of dialogue rather than violence and escalation so as to give the Palestinians and the Israelis more opportunities to reach an agreement.

The paper indicated that Lebanon refused the recommendations given to it to dismember its negotiation track from the Syrian track. It said the Palestinian negotiation position aims at maintaining solidarity and cohesion between the Syrian and Lebanese tracks and to linking the security and political conditions in South Lebanon to that in the Golan.
