Lebanese premier calls on Palestinians to abstain from armed acts in south Lebanon

Lebanese Prime Minister Salim al-Hoss has called on the Palestinians to abstain from any armed actions in south Lebanon because this "does not meet with the interests of Lebanon."

In a statement he made on Monday in Beirut, commenting on what has been reported in the name of one Palestinian organization in that South Lebanon is an open stage for its military operations, the Lebanese prime Minister said: "We do not support and activity of any kind unless it will be for the Lebanese national resistance."
