President of the Republic General Emile Lahoud has assured everyone that Lebanon is well off despite all pressures exerted on it.

On the implementation of UN resolution 1559, president Lahoud considered that its implementation would threaten Lebanon's unity and endanger its stability. "What is presently needed is the full implementation of all other resolutions that proceeded 1559. Once this is made, the implementation of 1559 would automatically follow."

President Lahoud, who supported the right to return for Palestinians to their homelands, said implementing UN resolution 1559, before implementing all other relevant resolutions means targeting Palestinians and forcing them to settle in their host countries.
