Paris : Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa has confirmed that Syria is with the Lebanese consensus on the presidential elections, saying that the responsibility falls on the Lebanese.
Regarding the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories Moussa asserted, in a press conference in Paris on Dec 7 2007, that the Israeli siege imposed on the Gaza Strip led to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation of the Palestinian people, urging the international community to pressure Israel to lift the siege.
He called on the Palestinian people to adhere to the national unity to face the challenges surrounding them, affirming the need for an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
Moussa criticized ignorance of the international community to the Israeli military nuclear program and focusing on the Iranian peaceful nuclear program, underscoring Iran’s right to peaceful use of nuclear energy.
