Lebanon was one of three countries to vote against Syria's suspension from the Arab League Interior Minister Marwan Charbel warned that Lebanon is “exposed” to security threats and said that “the breach can come from anywhere.” Asked about Lebanon’s security in light of assaults on foreign embassies in Damascus following an Arab move against Syria, Charbel voiced concern “that the situation would escalate in Lebanon…because the country is exposed.”
He told Al-Jumhuriya newspaper in an interview published Monday that “political disputes in Lebanon might harm thecountry’s security.”
He also said that he instructed relevant security forces to “take strict measures to ensure security for foreign embassies in Lebanon.”
On Saturday, the Arab League announced Syria's imminent suspension, drawing international praise but sparking mob attacks on foreign embassies in Damascus. Syria, Yemen and Lebanon voted against the measure, and Iraq abstained.
Meanwhile, MP Robert Ghanem stressed to Voice of Lebanon radio station on Monday that Lebanon should not object the decisions of the Arab League and the United Nations.
Ghanem confirmed that Lebanon is known by exporting democracy to the Arab countries, calling on the Lebanese to "preserve these values".
On the other hand, the MP said that the parliamentary session which will be held on Wednesday is dedicated to written questions which were directed to the cabinet from the deputies that involved different issues like the kidnapping of the four Syrians and Shibli Oseimi.
Ghanem confirmed that these issues will take a big part of the discussion what will turn this parliamentary session into a questioning session which may force Speaker of the House Nabih Berri to appoint another questioning session.
