| Lebanon UN mission denies any agreement with Syria over Shebaa |
| 2007-07-23 |
| The Lebanese mission at the UN is preparing a response to the statement made by Syrian ambassador to the UN , Bashar el Jaafari, in which he claims that Lebanon has agreed prior to last summer war to delay the border demarcation until Golan Heights are liberated , An Nahar newspaper was told. The mission spokesman told, An Nahar that there is no truth to the Syrian statement , since Lebanon is adamant on implementing UN resolution 1701 and is trying to get the Sheba farms transferred from Israel to the UN to enable Lebanon at a later stage to reclaim them. According to the Lebanese mission at the UN , the Frenchman that drew the maps under UN supervision was able to revert to the original French documents ( when Lebanon was under the French mandate ) and was able to substantiate the fact that these farms belong to Lebanon and not Syria. The French expert will be visiting Beirut soon to re-confirm that the farms belong to Lebanon. |

| #1 I think Israel should claim all of Lebanon below Beirut as part of King David's ancient kingdom, now to be restored. THAT would certainly set the fox among the chickens! King David also controlled both sides of the Jordan River, and most of the Sinai. |
