Arab League Foreign Ministers to Hizbullah: Stand Down
(IsraelNN.com) Top Arab diplomats called on Hizbullah to pull out of West Beirut and leave Lebanon's army in charge of security in a statement on Sunday.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia organized an emergency meeting Sunday of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo, days after Iranian-backed Hizbullah took control of most of western Beirut. The two countries accuse Hizbullah of sidelining Lebanon's Sunni minority and being a proxy for Iran.
The ministers issued a statement urging Lebanon "to immediately halt the violence." They are also expected to re-launch a plan that called for the immediate election of army chief Michel Suleiman as a consensus president and the formation of a national unity government.
