| Berri Responding to Peres over 1701: Israel Never Implemented the Resolution |
| 2010-11-28 |
[An Nahar] House Speaker Nabih KnobbyBerri ... the Hizbullah sock puppet ... criticized on Friday Israeli President Shimon Peres's statements that his country had implemented U.N. Security Council resolution 1701, by asking: "For how long will the world overlook Israel's lies?" Berri clarified: "Israel's withdrawal from the village of Ghajar is illusory as long as the Lebanese army or anything that represents the illusory sovereignty of the Lebanese state is not allowed to be deployed in Ghajar." The U.N. Interim Force in Leb is charged with backing the Lebanese army and not taking its place, he said. "This is stipulated in resolution 425 and repeated in resolution 1701 and therefore, Israel has never implemented resolution 1701," Berri stated. "Why has the international community forgotten that the resolution also encompasses the Shabaa Farms and the Kfarshouba hills and attempted to demonstrate that withdrawing from Ghajar is all that's left from resolution 1701?" he asked. "The Israeli flights over Leb are taking place on a daily basis, which only confirms that Israel has implemented the resolution and of course UNIFIL records the violations, as for the U.N., it is working according to the saying 'out of sight, out of mind'," the speaker said sarcastically. |

The Resolution at the same time also emphasizes: The need to address urgently the unconditional release of the abducted Israeli soldiers, that have given rise to the current crisis. |
