"We are facing a new international political system after the suicide attacks. The world has seen more U.S. hegemonism in the year of 2001. In the region of Middle East, Israel has succeeded in using U.S. support to wage a war against Palestinians," said the information minister. "With the name of anti-terrorism, we have seen more Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli troops," Aridi noted. He also expressed regret that the Arab world can not unify a position to help Palestinians' intifada and face external pressure. While referring to the problem of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, Aridi said: "We have to take the refugee problem into consideration in our foreign policies. What we should do if they can not return to Palestine and remain in Lebanon?" It is estimated that more than 350,000 Palestinian refugees are currently staying in 12 refugee camps in Lebanon. Lebanon insists that they have to go back to their home land. But Israel refuses to accept all Palestinian refugees mainly scattered in Arab countries.
