Israel at War Watch: Little Pressure on Hezbollah to DISARM

AP: Little pressure on Hezbollah to disarm

Six weeks after the end of the Lebanon war, the militant Hezbollah group is facing little on-the-ground pressure to give up its weapons and disarm â€” despite a U.N. cease-fire resolution demanding just that.

The leaders of a U.N. peacekeeping force in south Lebanon say the job is not theirs. And Lebanon’s ill-equipped army, some of whose soldiers wear tin-pot helmets and carry outdated M-16 rifles, shows no signs of diving into a confrontation with battle-hardened Hezbollah fighters.

For now, all sides say it’s likely full disarmament will happen only in the future as part of a political solution â€” despite the U.N. resolution that ended the 34-day war on Aug. 14 and required disarmament.

This demonstrates the fecklessness of the United Natiions and how ineffective United Nations Security Council Resolutions are. The controling resolution is UNSCR 1701 whose text is here.

Just like Flap said the first time.

Since Hezbollah is not disarming a new war with Israel is inevitable.

Stay tuned as both sides rearm……
