President of the Republic Joseph Aoun stated that "the decision to begin lifting US sanctions on Syria is a positive step, as improving the Syrian economy helps address the Syrian refugee crisis in Lebanon. The refugees should return to contribute to reviving their country's economy, and the United Nations should provide aid to them in their homeland, not in Lebanon."
Speaking before an American delegation led by Senator Angus King, he added: "We have formed Lebanese-Palestinian committees, and starting mid-next month, work will begin in three Palestinian camps in Beirut to address the issue of the presence of Palestinian weapons there."
