Prime Minister Marouf Bakhit on Thursday called his Lebanese counterpart, Fuad

people and briefed Siniora on the efforts of His Majesty King Abdullah to
contact regional and world leaders to bring an immediate end to the crisis.

provide all assistance possible to Lebanon, and reassured him that Lebanese
citizens who fled to Jordan will be taken good care of during their stay.
