President Michel Suleiman considered that Syrian authorities were the first to spark the dispute on the complaints against Lebanon, considering that the memos sent to the United Nations and the Arab League on Syrian violations as constitutional.

“The constitution states that the president is in charge of maintaining the safety of citizens and Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity,” visitors quoted Suleiman as saying.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea called on the state prosecutor to take measures against the parties criticizing President Michel Suleiman for sending memos to the U.N. and the Arab League on Syrian violations of Lebanese sovereignty.

Geagea told An Nahar daily published Friday that the critics “are trying to target the last legitimate institution that is trying to assume its responsibilities after they succeeded in paralyzing the parliament and the Constitutional Council and the obstruction of the cabinet formation.”

Caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour denied on Thursday that a dispute had erupted between him and President Michel Suleiman over Syria's violations of Lebanese territory.

He said after holding talks with European Union Ambassador to Lebanon Angelina Eichhorst: “Suleiman did not present a complaint, but a message on the violations.”

Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said Thursday that four men killed in the northeastern area of Wadi Rafeq would have been alive if Lebanese authorities had the manpower to control the border with Syria.

“Had the border areas been controlled, the four men wouldn't have been martyred,” Charbel said ahead of chairing a Central Security Council meeting at the ministry's headquarters.

President Michel Suleiman handed the Arab League on Thursday a memo urging warring sides in Syria to respect Lebanon's sovereignty, two days after taking an unprecedented move in sending a similar memo to the U.N.

Suleiman handed the memo to Ambassador Abdul Rahman al-Solh so that he refers it to Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi, the state-run National News Agency reported.

Premier-designate Tammam Salam warned of a vacuum in the executive authority, saying the new cabinet should be formed swiftly despite the lack of intention by the political parties to cooperate with him in his mission.

In remarks to several local dailies, Salam said he will speed up the consultations with the different sides after the law on the extension of parliament’s mandate becomes valid at midnight Thursday.

President Michel Suleiman said Thursday that Hizbullah made a mistake in getting involved in Syria's war, adding the party should bring back its fighters to Lebanon to avoid further security incidents in the country.

“I warned them amicably about this issue. I wasn't disloyal or oblivious,” Suleiman told As Safir newspaper.

The March 14 General Secretariat said on Wednesday that the memorandum the alliance presented to President Michel Suleiman serves as a roadmap for all the Lebanese people who seek their country's salvation.

It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: “This salvation is a collective responsibility of the people, and not one political or sectarian camp against the other.”

A Lebanese blogger has been questioned by the Internal Security Forces for his insulting tweets and not as reported for criticizing President Michel Suleiman.

A careful examination of Jean Assy's twitter account reveals swearing and name-calling against Suleiman which go beyond society's morals and ethics.

Caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said that the ties with President Michel Suleiman are “excellent,” denying that there is a sharp dispute with the president despite the difference in points of view over certain issues.

“Coordination is ongoing with the President despite all the attempts to create a rift between us,” Mansour said in comment published in al-Joumhouria newspaper on Wednesday.
