Netanyahu defends security
along south Lebanon border
by Margie Olster
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)—
Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s am
bassador to the United Nations,
strongly defended the south Leb
anon security zone at a meeting of
the Security Council Monday night.
He said if it did not exist, “south
Lebanon and northern Israel would
again face an intolerable situations.
A terrible violence would once
again be unleashed.”
The Security Council convened
at the request of France to debate
the future of the United Nations
Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)
of which the French contingent is
the largest— 1,391 men of a total of
5,827. Four French UNIFIL sold
iers have been killed in recent
attacks and 33 wounded. Netanya
hu, in his speech, rejected vigor
ously the contention that UNIFIL
was made vulnerable because Israel
refuses to allow it to deploy south
ward to the international border—
meaning in essence, abandonment
of the security zone.
The allegation was contained in
a report to the Security Council on
UNIFIL’s problems, issued last Fri
day. Netanyahu said the report
was misguided in blaming Israel
for those problems. He maintained
in his speech that the attacks on
UNIFIL originate “overwhelming
ly” from “the Shiite terror organi
zation known as Hezbullah...(the)
so-called ‘Party of God.’ ”
He charged that Hezbullah is
equipped, financed, inspired and
motivated by the Iranian regime of
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and
by Syria. “All of us remember its
barbaric attacks against the multi
national peacekeepers, as the spear
head of the Syrian effort to expel
this force from Lebanon. Iran, of
course was an enthusiastic partner
to this perfidy,” the Israeli envoy
declared.
He said “Hezbullah focuses on
UN I FI L as part of Khomeini's pol
icy to expel all Western forces from
Lebanon to facilitate its becoming
an Islamic republic.” He quoted
from religious edicts of Shiite ex
tremists which called for the “kill-
Binyamin Netanyahu
ing of Frenchmen at every oppor
tunity.”
Ifthe French decide to withdraw
their troops, the UNIFIL force
would fall apart, Netanyahu said.
He said France was seriously con
sidering this option. The French
contingent has in fact been rede
ployed to a safer area in south
Lebanon and its positions taken
over by Nepalese troops.
Netanyahu told the Jewish Tele
graphic Agency after the debate
that UNIFIL cannot realistically
deploy to the Israel-Lebanon border
because Israel is the only power
that can prevent attacks by Shiite
extremists and Palestinian terror
ists on Israel’s population.
Nevertheless, he said, Israel does
not want to see UNIFIL evacuate
the area or change positions. He
said the U.S. understands Israel’s
policy in south Lebanon and also
wants the status quo to remain.
According to Netanyahu, the
underlying issue in the Security
Council debate lies in the inherent
contradiction of having a peace
keeping force in a region where
there is no peace to keep. “UNIFIL
is caught in the contradiction” and
Israel is not leaving south Lebanon
in the immediate future, he told the
JTA.
In his Security Council speech,
Netanyahu declared that Israel “will
continue to do what is necessary to
protect the lives and safety of our
citizens. That is our goal, our only
goal, vis-a-vis Lebanon. And we
shall continue to work with any
party in Lebanon genuinely inter
ested in securing peace in this area.”
He added: “UNIFIL has tried to
assist in this objective. It has suf
fered painful casualties in the pro
cess. Although we did not request
UNFIL’sestablishment, everyone
in Israel shares the grief of the
bereaved families and their gov
ernments. We cannot and must
not, however, expect UNIFIL to
defend Israel. This was never and
cannot be UNIFIL’s purpose.”
Meanwhile, France has asked
the Security Council to adopt a
resolution calling on Israel to
withdraw from the security zone
within 15 days after the resolution
is passed.
