The following paragraph is misleading and Haaretz should have its editorial hand slapped for it!Reading carefully, farther on, one can see it is a horse of an entirely different color ...Israel has lifted its demand for the deployment of a new multinational force in southern Lebanon and agreed that UNIFIL, the United Nations force already in place, would oversee the cease-fire.
In a draft text for a UN Security Council resolution on ending the crisis in Lebanon, agreed yesterday by the United States and France, it was concluded that the UN Interim Force in Lebanon would be replaced by a new force only after Israel and Lebanon reach agreement on the principles of a long-term accord.Words have meaning and I can't explain why the paper decided to use the words it did in the first paragraph ... I hope it is a poor translation of Hebrew.
In the immediate future, UNIFIL will be reinforced with more troops in order to be able to carry out its new mandate.
My problem with the UN is everyone's problem: they are problem reporters and problem causers, but not ever problem solvers!
