BEIRUT: Hamas’ representative in Lebanon, Ali Barakeh said Tuesday Palestinian refugee camps would not be used to hurt civil peace in Lebanon.
Barakeh and an accompanying Hamas delegation met with several religious, political, and security officials in the southern coastal village of Sidon and discussed the latest developments taking place in the Palestinian refugee camps.
According to the National News Agency, Barakeh met with the head of South Lebanon Internal Security Forces Brig. Monzer al-Ayoubi and affirmed the Palestinian people’s concern for the security of their host country and its camps, rejecting that the camps be used to harm civil peace in Lebanon.
“The government’s new procedures could lead to anger in the Palestinian street if the government decides to prevent reconstruction in the camps,” he said, calling on Ayoubi to transfer these concerns to the prime minister and the interior minister.
According to media reports, Lebanese are expected to address the issue of illegal construction within refugee camps in future sessions.
“We demand that Palestinians be allowed to build as they are prevented from owning and the camps destroyed in the war be reconstructed,” Barakeh told Sidon MP Bahia Hariri.
