"New Taif" Fends Off Strife in Lebanon

Political quarters have been discussing possible solutions for the crisis in Lebanon based on averting internal strife, which some sides have accused the international community and American administration of promoting, reported the Central News Agency Saturday.

The solution would be supported by sides concerned with the situation in Lebanon, mainly the U.S., Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

The agreement, likened to a "new Taif" accord, would focus on reaching a defense strategy that would coincide with Hizbullah handing its arms to the Lebanese state while the international community and those concerned would work on alleviating the consequences of the indictment in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon through all means possible.

The political quarters added that the Lebanese are also aiming to introduce some constitutional amendments to the Taif agreement in some articles seen as hampering the work of the state.
