Lebanon’s Prime Minister Hussein Aweini told the Lebanese Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee at Beirut that he would present “practical proposals” for the resettlement of the Arab refugees, when the Arab League Council discusses that subject at Cairo on February 8, according to the Lebanese press, received here today. (See statement by King of Jordan on page 3.)
The influential Lebanese newspaper EI Amal, considered the official organ of the country’s ruling Christian Falange Party, report that the proposals involve a solution of the refuge problem through their resettlement in Arab countries. Each of the Arab states, the newspaper stated, would be asked to accept for resettlement a number of refugees in proportion to the country’ population.
