ICP, 14 April 2018
‘The escalation presages the dangers of a comprehensive war targeting the entire Arab region, as a result of the threat of a military strike against Syria’ said the Lebanese Communist Party (LCP) Secretary General Hanna Gharib, ‘The enemy of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and our Arab cause has always been the symbol of imperialist aggression and arrogance.’
The LCP condemned the US and Western threats and the decision of aggression against Syria, calling for a proactive communication and consultation with all national political forces. The press briefing also discussed the position of LCP at the Paris 4 Conference, underlining that the aggravation of the economic situation in Lebanon is not due to the crisis of Syrian displacement in particular, but preceding this crisis, du to the financial and trade deficits and balance of payments deficits, unemployment and migration of youth.
