Titolo: Israel to halt pullout unless Lebanon army deploys (Reuters)

Malgrado il cessate il fuoco la situazione e' tutt' altro che chiara. HA 
vuol conservare le armi, l'esercito libanese non si muove, IL minaccia 
di interrompere il ritiro. Significativa la posizione di attesa di 
chiarimenti da parte dei tedeschi, che il nostro ministro degli esteri 
farebbe bene ad imitare, piuttosto che forzare l'interpretazione del 
mandato ONU.

 Israel to halt pullout unless Lebanon army deploys
By Alistair Lyon, Special Correspondent  39 minutes ago
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel said on Wednesday it would stop withdrawing 
from south Lebanon unless Lebanese troops moved there within days, as 
diplomats worked on plans for a stronger U.N. force to bolster the truce 
with Hizbollah guerrillas.
The Lebanese cabinet will order an immediate army deployment in the 
south when it meets later in the day, a senior political source said, 
adding that a 15,000-strong force would start taking up positions south 
of the Litani River, about 20 km (13 miles) from the Israeli border, on 
Thursday.
French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy, holding talks in Beirut, 
urged Lebanon to send the army south rapidly to move alongside U.N. 
peacekeepers into areas vacated by the Israelis.
"The withdrawal of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) within 10 days is 
dependent upon the deployment of the Lebanese army," Israel's army chief 
Dan Halutz told parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, 
according to a spokesman.
"If the Lebanese army does not move down within a number of days to the 
south ... the way I see it, we must stop our withdrawal," Halutz said.
The U.N. Security Council last week adopted a resolution calling for a 
truce. It authorized up to 13,000 well-armed troops to augment the 
2,000-strong UNIFIL force now in Lebanon.
The United Nations said on Tuesday it wanted to deploy up to 3,500 new 
soldiers in south Lebanon within two weeks.
"It seems to me vital that the deployment of the Lebanese army takes 
place as quickly as possible," Douste-Blazy said after meeting Lebanese 
Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh.
Hizbollah, which fought an Israeli onslaught for 34 days until a U.N. 
truce took hold on Monday, has said it has the right to attack Israeli 
forces remaining on Lebanese soil.
"The presence of Israeli tanks in the south is an aggression and the 
resistance reserves its right to face such aggression if it persisted," 
Sheikh Nabil Kaouk, Hizbollah's top official in south Lebanon, told 
reporters in the port city of Tyre.
He said the idea of disarming Hizbollah guerrillas "was not on the 
table" -- especially with the Israelis still in Lebanon.
Hizbollah has shown no willingness to vacate the area south of the 
Litani, where its guerrillas have roamed for two decades.
The group has promised to cooperate with Lebanese and U.N. forces, but 
has made clear it will keep its weapons -- although political sources 
say it has offered to keep them out of sight.
Douste-Blazy said France, which might lead the strengthened UNIFIL, was 
ready to play an important role in the force, but said it was vital that 
many other countries contributed.
"LIFT THE BLOCKADE"
Douste-Blazy also urged Israel to end an air and sea blockade imposed on 
Lebanon at the start of the war.
Israel has indicated it will keep up the blockade until measures are in 
place to prevent Hizbollah from rearming.
Two tankers carrying fuel were due to arrive in Lebanon, where the 
blockade has caused shortages and power cuts.
"Two ships have got permission and guarantees to dock today and one 
should be coming in tomorrow," said Bahij Abu Hamze, head of Lebanon's 
Association of Fuel Importers.
Prime Minister Fouad Siniora hosted a lunch for Douste-Blazy and his 
counterparts from Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan, some of which may also 
contribute troops to UNIFIL.
Germany could contribute to the force but will not decide whether to 
participate until the exact nature of the operation is known, a 
government spokesman said in Berlin.
Indonesia is ready to send 1,000 troops as part of the U.N. force for 
Lebanon, officials in Jakarta said.
At least 1,110 people in Lebanon and 157 Israelis were killed in the 
conflict that erupted after Hizbollah captured two Israeli soldiers in a 
cross-border raid on July 12.
In Tyre, hospital workers struggled to deal with an overflowing morgue, 
as more bodies were found in the ruins of buildings and other corpses 
remained unclaimed.
A temporary mass grave was dug in the city for more than 100 unclaimed 
bodies, but the burial was postponed.
"There are names which are not clear," said Dr Moustafa Jradeh. "There 
are people who want to bury them in their villages. If we bury them here 
it will cause a lot of problems."
The hospital had been planning a mass burial of 126 bodies in a grave 
near an army barracks unless relatives claimed them. Seventy-two corpses 
were buried there on July 21.
Israel may have ended its Lebanon offensive, but it continues to attack 
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, where an air strike killed one 
militant and his father on Wednesday, witnesses and medics said.

 mandato ONU.
Cosa che qui stanno facendo un po' tutti
Ciao!

 Cosa che qui stanno facendo un po' tutti
Evidentemente il mandato è equivoco.
Mirco

 Evidentemente il mandato è equivoco.
Eppure le certezze sulla risoluzione si sprecavano..nonostante
le stesse fossero smentite da ciò che affermavano le varie parti in
campo.
Il buonsenso indurrebbe a dare più peso alle affermazioni di chi
quella risoluzione dovrebbe rispettare, che non a quello che c'è scritto
(confusamente ).
Ciao!

 Con la possibilità di passare dalla parte del torto
Assolutamente no.
L'accordo per il cessate il fuoco è quello.
Se salta perché HA non disarma, è saltato.
E il torto è di chi lo fa saltare.
Questo per i non schierati, eh.

Avendo ragione, passerą nel torto solo di chi non vede l'ora di dare *qualsiasi* 
torto a Israele.
No problem, c'č il callo.

Vediamo di non infilarci in un'altra barca che fa acqua!
La situazione e`tutt'altro che chiara e ci si capira`qualcosa solo piu`in
la', quando l'IDF si sara` ritirato entro i confini propri.
Si grida vittoria da tutte le parti e questo significa solo che in effetti
si e` in un momento di stallo...Chi ha *perso*, di sicuro, sono solo i
familiari dei morti di questa guerra "assurda" e chi si e`visto la
proprieta`distrutta.

L'esercito libanese non si muove perché aspetta il dispiegamento di una parte 
sufficiente della forza ONU.
Mi pare che la cosa che vuole a tutti i costi evitare il governo libanese è che 
si verifichino "incidenti" tra le sue truppe e le truppe di Israele.  Per ovvi 
motivi vuole che ad "accompagnare" il ritiro assistano le forze ONU.
Se vi fossero scontri, infatti, in assenza di testimoni indipendenti Israele 
avrebbe buon gioco a dichiararsi attaccato, con le conseguenze che è facile 
immaginare.

 che è facile immaginare.
Ma rotfl. Questa deve averla vista in sogno.
In ogni caso, per conprensibili ragioni, le IDF non si ritireranno prima che 
arrivino forze a sostituirle.

 che arrivino forze a sostituirle.
Ovvio, ma bisognerà aspettare le truppe ONU per un ritiro veloce.
