Feltman is 'concerned' ...

"The United States of America is very concerned about the new cabinet’s engagements towards UN Security Council resolutions 1701 and 1757, US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman told ‘Al-Hayat’daily. In an interview published on Friday, Feltman said the US and France share the same views regarding the situation in Lebanon and are deeply concerned about his commitments towards the international community as Lebanon currently represents Arab states at the Security Council. Even if Makati’s appointment was aimed at abolishing Lebanon’s ties with the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), we cannot make any prejudgments regarding the new cabinet as PM Designate Najib Mikati has not declared his position regarding UN resolutions,” he said."
