Israel Fears Lebanon Is Fast Becoming an Iranian Satellite
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Amid increasing concern in Jerusalem that Lebanon is turning into an Iranian satellite, Prime Minister Netanyahu convened his top ministerial forum on Wednesday to discuss the situation. One government source noted, "An Iranian satellite state on Israel's northern border has crucial implications for Israeli national security." The security cabinet's decision earlier this month to withdraw from the northern half of the Lebanese border village of Ghajar was made with the hope that such a move would strengthen the hand of the central government in Beirut in its struggle with Hizbullah.
