Lebanese President, General Michel Aoun accused Israel of exploiting the world’s preoccupation with the region’s crises and the failure of peace efforts to continue stealing the Palestinian rights, infringing on the sovereignty of its neighbours, and imposing a fait accompli.

Aoun who was speaking in Beirut during a meeting held Tuesday with representatives of diplomatic missions accredited to Lebanon said the right course is drawn by a true international will that wants to save the world from terrorism and establish peace.

“If you want peace you have to find solutions to the region’s problems that are not based on force but on justice, which lifts injustice and returns rights to their owners”, he said.
