| Sovereignty Cannot Be Reached in Ghajar until Army Deployment |
| 2010-11-21 |
| A Lebanese diplomat told As Safir Saturday that until this day, Israel has yet to take a tangible step in its decision to withdraw from the northern section of the village of Ghajar. Even if the withdrawal does take place and the U.N. Interim Force in Leb is deployed there, the Lebanese state will not consider the mission complete until the Lebanese army is deployed in the village, it added. The withdrawal process first takes place with Israel's pull out, which would be followed by UNIFIL deployment on the same day where it would check that the occupying troops had truly withdrawn from the village. The following day, the Lebanese army would enter the liberated area, the source continued. It noted that Israel's withdraw does not mean that it has fulfilled its commitments to international resolutions seeing as it is still obligated to withdraw from the Shabaa Farms and respect Leb's illusory sovereignty by ending its daily air, land, and sea violations against Leb and dismantling its spy networks in the country. |
