Lebanese President Makes "Resistance" Compromise

As part of the attempts to consolidate a platform for Lebanon's unity government, Lebanese President Michel Suleiman has drawn up a draft compromise for the section on the resistance (to Israel), under which the Lebanese government "recognizes the right of Lebanon and of the resistance to liberate lands still occupied and to confront the threats and injuries by Israel, and stresses Lebanon's obligation under the U.N. resolutions, including 1701."

The opposition supports this draft, but the March 14 Forces have asked for additional consultation over it.
