Procrastinating over the return of the refugees is tantamount to complicity, while silence is a crime, Foreign minister Gebran Bassil stated during a press conference on Saturday.

Charging protagonists (without naming them) with manipulating Syrian refugees for dubious ends, Bassil challenged them to deal out-rightly with this issue; otherwise, silence on their part may be construed as "treason."

Contending that their rejection of Syrian implantation is not enough they must reject Syrian displacement into Lebanon, he concluded.
