Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul-Karim Ali deemed the visa restrictions that Lebanon has imposed on Syrian nationals as “totally unacceptable”, hinting that his country might prevent trucks from accessing its territory.
“Syria does not favor escalatory actions […]. However, if Syria decided to react by preventing trucks from entering its territory, Lebanon’s loss would be much more significant,” he told al-Akhbar newspaper.
The envoy voiced his country’s readiness to address the refugee crisis in coordination with Lebanon, adding that such measures do not go in line with bilateral pacts and agreements.
“Syria has yet to be informed about the new visa rules,” he said.
