What Is Israel’s Purpose from Ghajar Withdrawal?

20/11/2010 Sane person cannot believe that Israel will withdraw from the Village of Ghajar unconditionally, or for no reasons. At least there is a package of goals the Zionist entity is trying to achieve through this attempt.

Few days after the Israeli cabinet had approved a pullout from the northern part of Ghajr village, the International forces deployed in south Lebanon said they were coordinating issues with the Israeli foreign ministry in order to finalize the withdrawal details.

On the other hand, the Lebanese daily an-Nahar quoted a Lebanese diplomat on Saturday, as saying that even if Israel withdraws from Ghajar and UNIFIL forces are deployed in the village, the government “will not consider the withdrawal complete until the Lebanese army is deployed there”.

In this context, many observers see Israel as using the village of Ghajar in order to present t self as internationally “responsible”, “sticking” to the United Nations’ resolutions and “fulfilling” its international commitments, while as Lebanon and especially Hezbollah is “violating” international laws.

Officials said that Israel is aiming to demand an official recognition from the UN that it is respecting the international laws. And this recognition surely will be in the face of "condemning" Hezbollah for its armament.

Also in this context, UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams on Friday voiced “concerns” that Hezbollah’s arms supply is “worrisome”.

“Hezbollah’s weapons are mostly Iranian-made, and the arms’ transfer to Lebanon raises concerns,” Williams told Al-Arabiya television.

Observers can’t consider this Israeli “propaganda” as far away from the huge “scheme” aiming at targeting the defiant resistance in Lebanon.

Israel and the west behind it have been hardly trying to target the resistance. They had waged a destroying war in July 2006 in order to “topple” Hezbollah. However, they haven’t succeeded.

US Central Command Chief: US Military Aids aim at Resolutions 1559, 1701 Implementation

US Central Command Chief General James Mattis visited Lebanon for his first time on Friday, during which he met Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, Minister of Defense Elias Murr, and Army Chief General Jean Qahwaji.

Before wrapping up his few-hours visit, Mattis announced that the US will continue its support for the Lebanese army on the level of aids and training.

This comes a week after the US administration decided to cancel the freeze of $100 Million military aid, which was adopted previously after clashes occurred between the "Israeli" enemy and the Lebanese army on the Oddaiseh border village.

On behalf of US President Barak Obama, General James Mattis said that the US support of the Lebanese army is part of an international commitment that stresses on enabling the Lebanese government of practicing its sovereignty on all Lebanese territories, in accordance with resolutions 1559 and 1701.

This is not the first time that a western, or to be precise, a US official speaks so well of Lebanon and how much the US administration is concerned with Lebanon's security, stability, and liberty.

The US claims to be committed to Lebanon to help in the implementation of resolution 1701, which almost every day, is being breached by the "Israeli" enemy, and yet the US and all the international community stand still and do not attempt to make a difference.
