BEIRUT - Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said that the decisions of the Arab Foreign Ministers' meeting held in Cairo on the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip do not upgrade to the level of national and pan-Arab responsibilities.

"Arabs possess the pressure means that could give the Arab world a big power to impose its will," Mansour added in an interview with the Lebanese al-Manar TV Channel on Sunday, expressing regret that these means had not been used.

" Such pressure means to be used there should by an Arab consensus," the Minister said. 

He called for activating the Israeli boycott bureau and to boycott all the foreign companies that deal with Israel.

Minister Mansour slammed the Arab League (AL) stance towards the Israeli aggression on Gaza and its stance towards the crisis in Syria as it goes too far in the Syrian file due to the foreign pressures and internal factors.

He went on to say the Arab countries to reach a unified stance towards Palestine there should be united will.

Mansour said that despite suspending Syria's Arab League membership, but its role has always been a national and pan-Arab one as it is not far from the Palestinian cause. " The countries that worked to keep Syria away from the Arab League couldn't take its role and presence in the region as no state could replace it."
