NowLebanon - Abu Faour: Hezbollah’s stance on Syrian refugees ‘positive’, April 06, 2012

Social Affairs Minister Wael Abu Faour said in remarks published on Friday that Hezbollah’s stance regarding Syrian refugees in Lebanon was “positive.”

“[Hezbollah] has not taken a negative step regarding the issue of the Syrian refugees,” Abu Faour told As-Safirnewspaper.

He also said that the stances of Hezbollah and Amal Movement ministers were “rational,” adding that the ministers are dealing with the file “in its humanitarian dimension.”

Thousands of Syrians have fled the unrest in their country, which according to UN has left over 9,000 people killed since protests erupted in strife-stricken Syria in mid-March 2011.

Lebanon’s political scene is split between supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, led by Hezbollah, and the pro-Western March 14 camp.
