Member of the Democratic Gathering, MP Elie Aoun, told Free Lebanon radio on Saturday that the many sacrifices Lebanon has made for the Palestinian cause led the country into civil war; thus, Palestinian factions are now required to cooperate with the Lebanese State to limit security breaches in refugee camps. Aoun argued that Palestinian factions refused to hand over their camps’ security to the Lebanese Army under the pretext that such a matter required dialogue with the State, army and security forces. The issue that required internal dialogue was the weapons of Hezbollah. Once such dialogue took place, a security strategy, which preserved the dignity of the Lebanese army, could be reached.
