Samaha underlined the importance of Syrian- Lebanese ties

Lebanese Information Minister Michel Samaha has stressed the importance of the integration between Syria and Lebanon in confrontation of the Israeli occupation of Lebanese lands.

During his meeting with a delegation of the Lebanese - Palestinian fraternal Association chaired by Saleh al-Naarani on Wednesday, Samaha said that Syria and Lebanon had contributed to a great deal in the remaining of Arab rights urging for a Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian media cooperation to confront the aggressive policy of Israel.

He added that the latest Israeli aggression on Syria and the continuation of Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace are clear indications of Israel's inclination to expand the escalation and tension in the region.
