Title: Al-Rahi: Call for Unity on Securing the Return of Displaced Persons

Maronite Patriarch Bechara Al-Rahi called for "unity of voice on the issue of ensuring the return of displaced persons and Syrian refugees to their homeland, and not succumbing to European and international pressures and their enticing methods aimed at avoiding their return and keeping them in Lebanon for political purposes that are not in their interest or in the interest of Lebanon." He also urged to "stop the war in Southern Lebanon, put an end to the destruction of homes, the demolition of shops, the burning of land and its crops, the killing of innocent civilians, their displacement, and the destruction of their livelihoods in an economic context that has already impoverished them."
