KERRY PRESS SYRIA TO DISARM HIZBULLAH

Labels:
BEIRUT: United States Senator John Kerry said on Wednesday that the new US administration will press Syria to help disarm Hizbullah as it forges ahead with a fresh diplomatic approach in the region. "We want Syria to respect the political independence of Lebanon, we want Syria to help in the process of resolving issues with Hizbullah and with the Palestinians," Kerry said, after meeting President Michel Sleiman and Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.
"We want Syria to help with the disarmament of Hizbullah," added the former US Democratic presidential candidate, who is also due to visit Damascus on his regional tour.
Kerry, who heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the new administration of US President Barack Obama plans to adopt a fresh approach as it addresses key issues in the Middle East.
"Unlike the Bush administration that believed you could simply tell people what to do and walk away and wait for them to do it, we believe you have to engage in a discussion," Kerry said.
Kerry arrived in Lebanon from Jordan on the latest leg of a regional tour that will also take him to Egypt, Israel, the Palestinian territories and Syria.
The tour comes as the Obama administration works to convince the Arab world that it will ramp up US involvement in the Middle East peace process. Kerry was headed for Occupied Jerusalem after his Beirut visit.
