BEIRUT: Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil Monday warned of a plan for a long-term stay of displaced Syrians in Lebanon, stressing that the refugee crisis poses a threat to the world.
“The Syrian refugee crisis will create a threat to all humanity at all levels,” Bassil responded in English to a reporter’s question during a news conference he held in Kuwait.
Bassil said he urged Arabs during a meeting Monday of Arab League Foreign Ministers to create settlements for Syrian refugees outside Lebanon “because there is a plot to keep them here for a long time.”
At least 1 million Syrian refugees have fled the civil war in their country to Lebanon.
