تينينتي: اليونيفيل لن تغادر جنوب لبنان بحال "انفجار الوضع"
Read this story in Englishشدد المتحدث الرسمي باسم قوات حفظ السلام "اليونيفيل" في لبنان اندريا تينينتي، أن "اليونيفيل" لن تغادر الجنوب، في حال "انفجار الوضع"، مؤكداً أن لا تغيير في التدابير الامنية التي تتخذها هذه القوى.
وفي حديث الى صحيفة "المستقبل"، الاحد، أكد تينينتي أن "اليونيفيل لم تغير تدابيرها الأمنية وهي تحافظ على المستوى نفسه من الجهوزية ولا تغيير في أي من "قواعد الاشتباك"".
واذ لفت الى استقرار الوضع في جنوب لبنان، وأن الالتزام بقرار الـ1701 من قبل الجانبين اللبناني والاسرائيلي، شدد على أنه اذا انفجر الوضع لن تغادر القوات الدولية الجنوب".
الا أنه لفت الى أنه حينذاك سيتعطل "القرار 1701، لأن وقف الأعمال العدوانية التي يرعاها يكون قد خرق، وسيكون وضعنا رهناً بقرار مجلس الأمن الدولي".
وقال تينينتي: "نحن في الجنوب منذ العام 1978 ولم نغادر طوال الحروب التي مرت في الأعوام 1982 و1993 و1996 و2006، مهمتنا مساعدة الدولة اللبنانية والسكان المحليين ومراقبة وقف الاعمال العدوانية، ونحن نعمل في هذا الاطار وسنستمر".
وتنتظر الولايات المتحدة تغطية من الكونغرس الاميركي لاتخاذ قرار توجيه ضربة عسكرية ضد النظام السوري ردا على هجوم مفترض بالاسلحة الكيميائية في 21 آب، طاول الغوطة الشرقية والغوطة الغربية ومن ضمنها المعضمية.
أما عن السفينة الايطالية المرسلة لترحيل الكتيبة الايطالية ، فنفى تينينتي عبر "المستقبل"، وجود أي معلومات لديه عنها، قائلاً "السفارة الايطالية وحدها مَن يملك جواباً حول هذا الموضوع".
وأعلن متحدث باسم البحرية الايطالية، الجمعة، أن بلاده ارسلت سفينة حربية، "أندريا دوريا"، الى شرق البحر المتوسط قد يتم استخدامها لاجلاء القوات الايطالية من جنوب لبنان في حال تدهور الوضع في هذا البلد جراء تفاقم الازمة في سوريا.
وتعد المدمرة "أندريا دوريا" التي دشنت عام 2005 من الجيل الجديد من المدمرات الحديثة للدفاع الجوي وهي مزودة بمنظومة "بامز" الصاروخية لاطلاق صواريخ أستر 15 وأستر 30 بالاضافة الى قاذفتي صواريخ وقاذفتي طوربيدات كما تحمل طائرة مروحية هجومية بينما يتكون طاقمها من 195 جنديا.
What has UNIFIL done for Lebanon ? It has been there since 1978 ? How many times did Israel violate Lebanese Soverignty since that year ? What did the UN do about it ? Every time the UN Security Council wanted to pass a resolution against Israel's trespass & violations with Lebanon , why the US would veto every single one of them ? Why didn't Russia act and launched Military strikes against Israel just because the US would veto any Resolution against Israel just like the US is planning to do against Syria because Russia has Vetoed any Resolution against Syria ! Israel on the other hand will always be a menace to our region ! They are both the only countries of the World that can " Milk a Flea " at the same time on either side of it ! So to milk a country or a Region is an easy call for them both . You Suicidal Fools ( US ) stick to the UN mandate or go out on one leg & Israel on the other , you are both doomed !
Signed Wolf ....
Well to be fair, the UN's strong point is providing humanitarian aid, so, at least it has that going for it. Also, it was the UN's provisions in the South that convinced Israel to leave (as well as HA's involvement at the time I suppose).
Besides, a veto's a veto. The US will protect its interests like any other country. Israel is a regional interest, therefor protected by the US.
Also, do I understand correctly that by saying the following:
"Resolution 1701 will be obstructed because its article on the halt of hostile acts would have been violated"
UNIFIL is saying if HA retaliates from Lebanon (or within the region?) they'll simply stop protecting the border and wait instruction from the Security Council? The Security Council I'm sure will command them to remain, but if not, what effect will this have on our neighbor Israel? Will they try to retake some parts of the South or are too busy themselves to commit any effort on Lebanese land?
"The Security Council I'm sure will command them to remain, but if not, what effect will this have on our neighbor Israel? Will they try to retake some parts of the South or are too busy themselves to commit any effort on Lebanese land?"
Because of the clear limitations of UNIFIL, I don't feel like their activity( or lack there of) is a significant variable in Israel's strategic calculus because they do not have any real influence on the activity of the hezb. So whether they are there or not, I think that Israel will continue about its business unless provoked by the hezb. Israel would much prefer a friend in Lebanon than anything else and definatly has no interest in instigating conflict whith out reason or occupying Lebanon- it is in our interests as fellow humans and neighbors to have successful and stable neighbors with whom we can have a healthy relationship.
As long as some misguided Lebanese people or parties deem Israel as their enemy for the "wrong" reason and dwell and get hooked on it like being hooked on drugs, Lebanon will never solve the manufactured deadly problems unfairly subjected to. Israel is like someone's castle. You will do whatever it takes to defend it, and yes, yes, yes, we all understand the Palestinian issues. Israel does not want to occupy Lebanon like Syria did for some 30 years. Israel will attack Lebanon (when offense becomes the best defense) when its security is threatened like when Lebanon is forced or allows foreign interests to divide us and transplant in our lands Palestinians armed with weapons directly across their enemies, and allow Iran to built an army in the South with intentions that challenges, conflicts and/or contradicts with Israeli security while Iran is on its way to expand its empire and prosper economically.
So no, Israel will not invade Lebanon "Willie Nellie" unless the puppet masters create the situation by greasing the pockets of the few Lebanese perpetrators. Demand to take out the Palestinian threat that has plagued Lebanon for so long. We've all suffered because of them. Our families lost their homes, businesses and had to escape to other countries because of the Palestinian presence and threat in Lebanon. We fought each other because some of us used the PLO as their own army to displace thousands of Lebanese from their homes and make room for rich foreigners from Gulf countries.
@Antwan: I have to laugh concerning your crazy comment..."...give info to USA, Israel, England...Germany..." I'm a German and I was working in Lebanon to give idea's, tried to show the Lebanese authority's a way to come out of the chaos and disorganization there. I invest my time full of enthusiasm for your holy country....and now I have to read this stupid comment. Shame on you!!!
