Asharq al-Awsat newspaper has indicated that warnings issued by Arab embassies in Beirut to their citizens have put the local security situation under scrutiny by these countries.

This fact has led to confusion, several days after the outbreak of armed clashes in the Palestinian camp of Ain el-Helweh.

The newspaper specified that the latest warnings were issued by United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Sultanate of Oman.

For his part, House Speaker Nabih Berri stated that the security situation does not justify the publication of such statements.
