Lebanese source denies contacts with Israel

A Lebanese presidential source stressed on Sunday the Lebanese firm stances with regard to the Arab-Israeli conflict which are represented by commitment to the necessity of the Israeli withdrawal from all the occupied Arab territories and the return of the Palestinian refugees to their territories as well as adherence to international resolutions.

The source denied in a statement reported by the Lebanese Presidential Press Bureau on what was reported by the Israeli daily of Maariv that Lebanese President Emile Lahoud had sent a message to the Israeli government in that connection.
