GAZA, Palestine. June 28, 2005. (WAFA+IPC)--[Official PA website]- The Palestinian leadership welcomed today the amendment made on the presidential resolution with respect to the organization of foreign labor that forbids the Palestinian born on the Lebanese land from doing certain types of jobs and confines such jobs to the Lebanese.
In a press release issued yesterday, the leadership praised such a decision that enhances the sense of solidarity between the Palestinian and the Lebanese people.
"The decision will be an outlet for the Palestinians living in the refugee camps in Lebanon from their difficult financial situation." The statement reads.
The Palestinian leadership, its president and people paid their gratitude to Lebanon's president and people for supporting the Palestinian people in all stages of their struggle for establishing the Independent state of Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.
The leadership as well renewed its stiff stand that the Palestinians living in Lebanon are just guests, expressing hope that the decision will improve the economic tough situation of the Palestinians and thus help them afford a good life until their cause is solved on basis of the international resolutions.
The Lebanese minister of labor, Tarad Hamad issued yesterday a draft decision according to which the Palestinians born in Lebanon and formally registered in the records of the Lebanese Ministry of Interior will be allowed to practice the jobs that were forbidden to them.
On its turn, the National Fedration of the Palestinian workers' Syndicates in Lebanon congratulated the Palestinian workers on the new decision affirming that it will be the start of giving the Palestinian refugees their human, civil and social rights and it will lead to the execution of the UN resolution 194 pertaining to the Palestinian refugees' right to return.
