العلاقات السورية-اللبنانية في أثناء مفاوضات المعاهدة مع فرنسا عام 1936

الملخص EN

A Syrian tendency has begun to tend toward recognition of the Lebanese entity independent of France, and is looking forward to establishing Lebanese-Syrian relations that will be reinforced by common vital interests.

This Syrian tendency appeared during the treaty negotiations in Paris, where the Syrian negotiating delegation did not express an intransigence towards the demand to annex the four districts (Rashaya, Hasbaya, Baalbek and Bekaa) and other coastal areas that annexed Lebanon.

Indeed, the Syrian pressure during the negotiations was mainly aimed at pushing the French government.

To recognize the gains of national independence not only for Syria, but also for Lebanon.

The National Bloc realized that the main obstacle preventing the Lebanese and Syrians from understanding to decide the future of their relations lies in the existence of the French mandate and in the partition policy adopted by France, not in the difference between the Lebanese and the Syrians themselves.

This Syrian understanding in dealing with the Lebanese situation during the 1936 treaty negotiations was the main motive.

The acceleration of rapid changes that are emerging on the horizon of Lebanese - Lebanese relations on the one hand, and Lebanese - Syrian relations, in the next phase, on the other hand.
