UN Report Says Escalated Hizbullah Rhetoric Increases War Risk with Israel

[An Nahar] Secretary-General of the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
Antonio Guterres denounced in a periodic report on the implementation of resolution 1701, the recent statements made by Hizbullah
...Party of God , a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
against Israel, rejecting "deterrence" justifications which "increases the risk of tension and could lead to renewed war," An Nahar daily reported on Friday.
The report encouraged President  Michel Aoun
...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
to resume national dialogue among political parties until a defense strategy is agreed to remove weaponry from Hizbullah and other gangs, according to the daily.
The report, which consists of 91 paragraphs and prepared by the Special Coordinator for the United Nations in Leb Sigrid Kaag citing a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701, is the first for Guterres since he took office on the first of January.
In the report, Guterres welcomed the "institutional and political progress" made in recent months in Leb, saying it "represents an opportunity to further strengthen the Lebanese state's authority and expand it." Nevertheless it added that "Retention of arms by Hizbullah and other groups undermines the state's authority and contradicts with the duties of the country under resolutions 1559 and 1701."
The report condemned the "threats launched by Secretary General of Hizbullah against Israel on February 16, which can not be justified as a need for deterrence." It pointed out that "rhetorical threats of use of force by any of the two parties (Israel and Hizbullah), destabilizes the relative calm and stability prevailing between them."
It called on all parties to "refrain from such threats, because they increase the risk which could lead to renewed war."
