Calls for International Effort to Bring National Reconciliation in Lebanon

WASHINGTON – Nov. 21, 2006 – The Arab American Institute (AAI) unequivocally condemns the assassination of Lebanese cabinet minister Pierre Gemayel.

Rising tension and continued violence today threaten to destabilize Lebanon’s already precarious internal political situation. AAI calls upon the Bush Administration—as well as the international community—to take strong action to both find and prosecute those who are working to kill Lebanon’s leaders and its democracy, and to help bring about national reconciliation, which is so sorely needed by the Lebanese people.
