Ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal: key for peace in Lebanon

Qatar's Deputy Prime Minister and foreign minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Al-Thani said Tuesday the draft of Security Council resolution on ending the war between Israel and Hezbollah would only complicate the crisis and result in "grave ramifications" for Lebanon and the region. Al-Thani said the US-French draft would be impossible to enforce in its current form, and that any resolution must call for an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli troops behind the blue line and the strengthening of UN peacekeeping forces in the area.

"Adopting a non-enforceable resolution would further complicate the situation on the ground and have severe consequence for Lebanon, Arab countries and all the countries of the region," Al Thani said.
