BEIRUT, December 31 (Xinhuanet) --
Lebanese Information Minister
Ghazi Aridi said on Monday that the U.S.
hegemonism further
developed after the September 11 terror attacks in
New York and
Washington, the official NNA news agency
reported.
"We are facing a new international political
system after the
suicide attacks. The world has seen more U.S.
hegemonism in the
year of 2001. In the region of Middle East, Israel
has succeeded in
using U.S. support to wage a war against
Palestinians," said the
information minister.
"With
the name of anti-terrorism, we have seen more Palestinian
civilians
killed by Israeli troops," Aridi noted.
He also expressed
regret that the Arab world can not unify a
position to help
Palestinians' intifada and face external pressure.
While
referring to the problem of Palestinian refugees in
Lebanon, Aridi
said: "We have to take the refugee problem into
consideration in our
foreign policies. What we should do if they
can not return to
Palestine and remain in Lebanon?"
It is estimated that
more than 350,000 Palestinian refugees are
currently staying in 12
refugee camps in Lebanon. Lebanon insists
that they have to go back to
their home land. But Israel refuses to
accept all Palestinian refugees
mainly scattered in Arab
countries.
