Shamseddine calls for reviving Palestinian upheaval

The head of the Higher Islamic Shiite Council in Lebanon, Mohammed Mahdi Shamseddine, called today for reviving the upheaval in occupied Palestine, saying that the spirit of the October's War has not ended yet.

He described the summit currently being held in Washington as a bilateral summit between President Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, only and not a trilateral summit, as Arafat is not a part in it because it is a consultation between the Americans and Israelis only.

Shamseddine praised the Egyptian and Islamic efforts and their relation with Lebanon, saying that his visit to Cairo at deepening solidarity with Syria's steadfastness and the Arab solidarity in the general case of confronting Israeli policy.

He praised the Egyptian mediation in the Turkish - Syrian dispute, confirming that the Israeli - Turkish alliance aims at besieging Syria and Lebanon to weaken and impose negotiations on them.
