Lahoud and the accountability acts against Syria

Lebanon has stressed that the endorsement of the US Congress of the so-called 'Syria Accountability Act' reflects the American flagrant bias and double-standard policy towards Israel.

In a statement yesterday, President Emil Lahoud of Lebanon said "if there is a necessity for an accountability act in the region it is more useful to be named "Israel Accountability act" due to the "Israeli brutal massacres and crimes against the Palestinians and rejection to the international resolutions which stipulate the Israeli withdrawal from all the occupied Arab territories."

Lahoud called on the United States to "liberate itself from the hegemony of the Zionist Lobby which constitute a dangerous threat to the interests of the American people."

Lahoud stressed that the only solution in the region is the Israeli complete withdrawal from all occupied Arab lands.
