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. ^3~anta±i^± “A Different Kind of Jewelry Store” See our large selection of costume and semi-precious jewelry.
