Lebanon Blocks UN statement Naming Eilat’s Operation ’’Terrorism’’
Local Editor
Lebanon, the permanent Arab member in the UN Security Council, blocked Friday a statement which would have called resistance operations in Southern Occupied Palestine "terrorism".
Ignoring US pressure and condemn to the move, Lebanon also called for a reference in the statement, or a separate statement, which condemns "Israel's" expansion of settlements in Palestinian territories which were announced this week.
US deputy ambassador in UNSC Rosemary DiCarlo commented on the blocked draft statement by claiming that "this is a standard language on terrorist acts, which this council has adopted many times."
Similarly, "Israel's" UN ambassador Ron Prosor reacted with anger.
"It is no coincidence that Lebanon -the only member of the council that obstructed this statement -is itself dominated by a terrorist organization," he claimed.
"It is outrageous that the Security Council did not clearly condemn the deliberate and appalling murder of many innocent "Israeli" civilians, which occurred yesterday in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks," Prosor said in his statement.
