General Security Chief, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, on Tuesday stressed that the repatriation of the displaced Syrians is a national duty, adding that the Syrian side has welcomed this move.

“Lebanon rejects some approaches to this file, especially those of the humanitarian organizations,” he told a press conference.

“We will not bow to the pressures because the interest of the Lebanese people comes first,” he said.

“We will not force any displaced Syrian to return to Syria,” he added.

On a different note, Ibrahim said that efforts are still ongoing to form the new government.
