Lebanese diplomat source revealed, on Thursday, American attempts to promote the idea of ​​creating safe zones for Syrian refugees on the Lebanese - Syrian common borderline, inside the Lebanese territory.

The source, who preferred to be anonymity, according to the news website of "Lebanon 24" "The United States require to provide more support for the Lebanese Army before marketing the idea of ​​safe areas, provided that the Lebanese Army is the only party that protects those areas."

The source pointed out that the United Nations does not support this American idea that has great acceptance of Turkey as well, because it fears that the refugees to be bombed, just like what had happened during the Yugoslav war.

The source confirmed that the new administration of US elect-President, Donald Trump, supports this idea as it was supported by the rival Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Currently, Lebanon hosts more than a million of Syrian refugees, who fled during the war’s years, living inside the camps dedicated to them, and in some neighborhoods of the Lebanese cities..
