Titolo: Shebaa Farms, Pinter fa arrabbiare Israele

Toni, tu che dovresti avere informazioni di prima mano, visto il
simpatico thread avuto in passato sul merito :-) , cosa sta
succedendo?
Sembra che Miklos Pinter sia sempre più convinto che parte delle
Shebaa Farms siano libanesi......!
questa appare sul sito Arab Monitor, non trovo al momento il link su
Haaretz. Più avanti altri link.
"  Libano: Israele rifiuta i consigli dell'Onu e non intende negoziare
sulla sorte dell'area occupata di Shebaa, perché andrebbe a beneficio
di Hezbollah
Tel Aviv, 19 ottobre - Stando a quanto riferito dal sito di Haaretz,
Israele si è rifiutato di aprire negoziati con il Libano sulla sorte
dell'area occupata delle Fattorie di Shebaa. In un recente incontro
tra l'inviato Onu in Libano Geir Pedersen e un alto responsabile del
Ministero della difesa israeliano, Pedersen ha espresso la convinzione
dell'Onu che la rivendicazione libanese sull'area occupata
militarmente dall'Entità ebraica è legitttima, sollecitando Tel Aviv a
aprire negoziati sulla questione. L'interlocutore israeliano ha
tuttavia risposto di no, affermando che ogni questione legata ai
rapporti tra Libano e Israele verrà regolata da un eventuale unico
accordo, Shebaa compresa.
Secondo Haaretz, Israele è molto critico nei confronti del lavoro dei
cartografi dell'Onu che stanno cercando di stabilire le esatte
coordinate dell'area. Tel Aviv si auspica che nel prossimo rapporto di
Pedersen, sull'applicazione della risoluzione 1701 che pose fine
all'aggressione israeliana al Libano nell'estate 2006, non ci sia
alcun riferimento al caso delle Fattorie di Shebaa, come è avvenuto
nel caso del precedente rapporto a causa delle forti pressioni
israeliane. Anonime fonti politiche israeliane, citata da Haaretz,
hanno dichiarato senza remore: "Non c'è modo di discutere della
faccenda (di Shebaa). Da parte nostra non c'è alcuna disponibilità a
essere flessibili, perché la questione va a rafforzare solo Hezbollah
e non serve gli interessi di Siniora (l'attuale premier libanese
sostenuto dagli Usa)".

Beirut- Israel has refused a recommendation by a United Nations
ambassador to begin negotiations with Lebanon over the disputed Shebaa
Farms area. According to the envoy, Geir Pedersen, the United Nations
is becoming increasingly convinced that Shebaa Farms belongs to
Lebanon.
During a meeting recently with Amos Gilad, the head of the Political-
Military Bureau at the Defense Ministry, Pedersen said that "the UN
believes that there is merit in the Lebanese claims of sovereignty
over Shebaa Farms."
The Norwegian diplomat stressed it would be beneficial if Israel
initiated negotiations over this issue.
During the coming weeks the UN Security Council is expected to receive
another report on the implementation of its Resolution 1701, which
brought the Second Lebanon War to an end.
Pedersen authored the first report, which made no mention of Shebaa
Farms following intense Israeli pressure.
However, the several months hiatus this pressure bought Israel may be
coming to an end following a series of meetings Pedersen held here
recently with senior officials at the foreign and defense ministries
and with the Israel Defense Forces.
The Shebaa Farms, situated in a sensitive spot where the borders of
Syria, Israel and Lebanon meet, has long been a point of contention
but assumed added significance after Israel withdrew from southern
Lebanon, because Hezbollah insists it is Lebanese territory still
under Israeli occupation.
The farms are part of what was the French Mandate over the territory
that today are Syria and Lebanon. The border was established in a 1923
agreement between Britain and France and was not precisely marked on
the ground.
Following Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the Lebanese
argued that Shebaa Farms is part of their sovereign territory.
However, after the IDF pulled out of Lebanon in May 2002 the UN
maintained that the territory was part of the Golan Heights (part of
Syria) and its future would be decided in negotiations between
Damascus and Jerusalem.
After last year's war the efforts to clearly mark the border between
Syria and Lebanon began. The two countries claim sovereignty over
several border areas, including Shebaa Farms. Since the border marking
process began, Israel's position was that it would not discuss the
sovereignty of Shebaa Farms until a decision was made whether the area
was Lebanese or Syrian.
In recent months, both Lebanon and Syria proposed that the disputed
land temporarily be placed under UN control, until the demarcation of
the border is completed. Israel refused.
During his meeting with Gilad, the UN envoy noted that the evidence
boosts the Lebanese claims. Pedersen said it may be advisable for
Israel to agree to separate negotiations with the government of
Lebanon on the Shebaa Farms to resolve the issue.
Gilad turned down the proposal, saying "we will not agree to resolving
this issue separately. Every agreement with Lebanon will be part of a
single package."
In recent months, Miklos Pinter, a UN cartographer, has been working
on determining the size of the Shebaa Farms area. His report has still
not been completed.
However, it may be that in the upcoming report on Resolution 1701,
some of the findings of Pinter's report will be included.
In a report to UN headquarters, Pedersen wrote that Israeli officials,
including Gilad, were critical of Pinter's work claiming "there are
technical mistakes in the UN work on the Shebaa Farms issue."
Nonetheless, in Israel officials are confident that Pedersen's
upcoming report to the Security Council will not require Israel to
carry out significant steps in the matter.
"From our point of view this issue is off the agenda for good," senior
political sources said. "There is no point in talking about this any
more. We have no room to show flexibility on this matter because that
only strengthens Hezbollah and does not serve [Lebanon's Prime
Minister Fouad] Siniora."

 Shebaa Farms siano libanesi......!
