7 May,2008..  Foreign Minister , Ahmed Aboul Gheit received a phone call from Foad El Siniora , Head of the Lebanese Government . Foreign Ministry spokesman stated that the phone call tackled the latest developments in Lebanon in light of the clashes and the turmoil that broke out this morning and resulted in disrupting the traffic on the road leading to the international airport, in addition to gunshots and property burning. EL Siniora defined to Aboul Gheit the stance of the Lebanese Government and its pursuits to maintain security and stability in the country, stated the spokesman. Aboul Gheit affirmed Egypt's supporting stance to the Lebanese government in assuming its pivotal role in this respect, being the constitutional institution responsible for running the country, which entails taking necessary measures to ensure the smooth operation of the state’s affairs and impede the erosion of its powers or credibility. Aboul Gheit stated that Egypt aspires the end of confrontations as soon as possible in order to spare sectarian or ideological strife by any party, which all Lebanese and Arabs seek to avoid.   The minister also received a phone call from the Head of The Future Block Sheikh Saad El Hariri, which tackled the same issue. The Minister got detailed description of the tense situation on the ground, in light of the clashes witnessed by Lebanon on the 7th of May, which might lead -if they develop- to totally undesired consequences. Aboul Gheit highlighted to Hariri the importance of exercising self restraint, indicating at the same time, Egypt's extreme keenness on the avoidance of any sectarian confrontations in Lebanon in light of its obvious risks to the critical situation in Lebanon and the region in general. The Foreign Minister stressed that the party which calls for confrontations disregarding the civil peace in Lebanon, will undoubtedly bear the historical responsibility for its actions. The Spokesman stated that Aboul Gheit will pursue his contacts regarding this issue, and that he assigned the Egyptian ambassador in Beirut to intensify his contacts with all forces and figures, that can work towards containing the situation.
