Lebanon Calls for UN Action over “Israeli” Monument in Sheba’a Farms
Local Editor
Lebanon called on the UN Security Council on Wednesday to take appropriate measures and compel "Israel" to remove a monument erected by the "Israelis" in the Sheba'a Farms last April.
The request was made in a letter by Lebanon's diplomatic officer to the UN, Caroline Ziyade.
"The "Israeli" act constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and reflects the nature of "Israel,"" she told UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
According to Ziyade, the monument is an insult to Lebanese and increases tension along the border. She also asked the UN and the international community to pressure "Israel" to fully implement Security Council Resolution 1701.
