(Asia Times-Hong Kong) Hussain Abdul-Hussain - Lebanon is not serious about enforcing the UN Security Council Resolution 1701 mechanism agreement that it signed with Israel on Nov. 27 that ended 14 months of war. Hizbullah has instructed caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati to pretend that Lebanon has lived up to its part of the deal, and that it is now incumbent on Israel to stop its "violations" and accelerate its withdrawal from Lebanese territory. What Mikati called violations were in fact Israel enforcing 1701 by striking Hizbullah's rearmament shipments, an arrangement that Lebanon had signed on to. The deal stipulated that the Israeli military would control up to five miles of Lebanese territory as long as Hizbullah maintains its ability to reconstitute. Israel promised to withdraw when the Lebanese Armed Forces has disarmed Hizbullah and neutralized its threat. The writer is a research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
