Ramallah, Palestine Economy Protal.

Former Lebanese Labor Minister Tarrad Hamada called on current Labor Minister Kamil Abu Suleiman to resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon by issuing a resolution regulating the work of foreigners and excluding Palestinian refugees from any provisions of the decision, so Palestinians are treated like the Lebanese as they are registered as refugees in the records of the Ministry of the Interior, and municipalities "Department of Political Affairs".

"Lebanese-Palestinian relations cannot be shaken by political whims, and the Lebanese and the Palestinians reject settlement and face multiple pressures," he said in an interview with the Beirut-based television program "From Beirut".

"The Palestinian refugee must be treated differently from the foreign labor force, and the laws that apply to foreigners should not be considered a foreign factor," he added.

Hamada called on the political forces to go to the House of Representatives to pass laws that take into account the rest of the acts that the Palestinian is forbidden to practice in the liberal professions, such as medicine, engineering and law, and others that have trade unions.

He pointed to the role of Palestinian capital after the Nakba in 1948, where he played a prominent role in the reconstruction of major institutions in Lebanon. Skilled labor also played a major role. Palestinian refugees are an essential part of the Lebanese market and support its economy, Remittances of their children abroad ".

He added that "contributions of workers may not be taken in favor of the Social Security Fund, and the provision of service to them".

On the motives of granting the Palestinians the right to work when he received the ministry in 2005, the former minister said: "The injustice inflicted on the Palestinian workers was a infamous for the world, and I took a decision of several points, most notably the national sense and the market need for the Palestinian labor, When the Palestinian worker returns home. "

He added: "Since the Palestinian worker does not apply to the principle of foreign employment for his forced existence in Lebanon as a result of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, he is registered in the Lebanese Ministry of Interior. This registration is a testament to their right to return to their country. But the Palestinian worker is not returning to Palestine because of the Israeli occupation, and they are fighting for this return. "

Minister Hamada concluded by talking about the young Palestinian Saber Murad, who faced terrorism and behaved in a manner consistent with the behavior of any Lebanese citizen defending his country. He was loyal to Lebanon and Palestine and a fighter against terrorism.
