Pro-Israel' Blair not welcome in Beirut, Shia cleric warns

Lebanon’s most senior Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, has told Tony Blair he is not welcome in Beirut, saying that the government should have declared the British prime minister “persona non grata” because of his perceived support for Israel.

Fadlallah, whose home was demolished during Israel’s 34-day onslaught on Lebanon launched after Shia militia captured two Israeli soldiers, said Blair was "a real partner in the Israeli-American war on Lebanon." "He (Blair) participated in one way or another in the American-Israeli madness spree against Lebanon and acted like a killer of children, women and the elderly and worked to prevent a cease-fire from being reached," the religious leader said in a statement.

Mr Blair announced yesterday that the Middle East peace process means so much to him that he will pay at least one more visit to the region before he leaves Downing Street. His remarks were made in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, soon after he had presented himself as a broker in getting Israel's Prime Minister and the Palestinian President to talk face to face.

Mr Blair also came to Palestine armed with a formula which he hoped will circumvent the problem that western governments refuse to deal with Palestine's elected administration unless the election winners, Hamas, do not recognise the state of Israel, renounce violence or recognise existing agreements. But Hamas were quick to reject the idea of a national unity government forced on them by outsiders.

"I hope I'm able to return to this region again," Mr Blair told journalists after his meeting with the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas. He added: "As far as I'm concerned this is issue which I believe passionately in will be as important as any other priority for me in the time that remains for me in office."
