Qatar to send troops to Lebanon
Qatar will be sending 200-300 troops for keeping the peace in Lebanon, becoming the first Arab country to participate in an expanded UN force. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr Al Thani, the Qatari foreign minister, said in Doha that the troop pledge was intended to "tell the world that there is an Arab presence, however small, and to say to Israel that we believe in this resolution and that we want to implement it."
