Asked “Do you believe that Lebanon can attain peace if all foreign forces withdraw from it?‘, he replied: “As far as- the Syrian forces are concerned, the Syrian forces @F prepared to withdraw at the request of the LebaneBECovemment after the withdrawal of the Israeli force& because then it would be a request resuIting froma&cision by the Lebanese Government and not from mli pressure because of Israeli occupa- tion in Lebar@&.” 86.
