Iran's Ahmadinejad tells Israel to pack up and go Sun Jul 23, 7:25 AM ET

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sunday told arch-foe Israel to pack up and move somewhere outside the Middle East. I advise them to pack up and move out of the region before being caught in the fire they have started in Lebanon, said Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called for the Jewish state to be relocated elsewhere on the planet, the state news agency IRNA reported Sunday.Iran refuses to recognise Israel and opposes any two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ahmadinejad has in the past called for Israel to be wiped off the map or relocated as far away as Alaska.

Israel launched its offensive in Lebanon on July 12 after Shiite Hezbollah militiamen captured two Israeli soldiers and killed eight others in attacks on the Israel-Lebanon border.

The Jewish state is also continuing with its attacks on the Gaza Strip, with the aim of retrieving a soldier snatched by Palestinian militants and stopping rocket fire.Zionists have launched their own destruction by attacking Lebanon, Ahmadinejad added, while accusing Britain and the United States of being accomplices in this regime's crimes.Iran, like Syria, has been accused of financing and arming Hezbollah but has always maintained it only gives moral support.On Saturday, Ahmadinejad lobbied Muslims to be more active in seeking an end to Israel's continuing assault on Gaza and Lebanon.In a show of support, scores of young Iranian boys and girls staged a support demonstration opposite the Lebanese embassy in Tehran carrying Lebanese flag and pictures of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

US, Britain slammed for pro-Israel stand

PARIS • Growing calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East exposed an international rift yesterday with Britain and the United States refusing to back the appeals despite 10 days of fierce fighting. United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan on Thursday led the calls for a swift end to the conflict, which has so far claimed more than 330 lives and forced hundreds of thousands to flee. At least 33 Israelis have been killed. France reiterated its appeal yesterday, while the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican communion accused London and Washington of being out of touch with popular opinion. In his strongly-worded address to the UN Security Council, Annan called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, blaming both sides for the violence. He proposed a settlement plan under which Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia would release two captured Israeli soldiers and halt attacks on Israel, while the international community would send a stabilisation force to the region.

Washington and London have so far refused to join other nations in demanding that Israel end its aerial bombardment on Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip, where 106 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier have died on a separate front. Instead they have repeatedly called for restraint on both sides. The US ambassador to the UN John Bolton voiced scepticism that a ceasefire would be effective, suggesting any peace deal should be part of a “long-term cessation of hostilities that is part of a comprehensive change in the region. He also mooted the difficulties of conducting a ceasefire with a group of terrorists. Israel, whose bombing campaign has overwhelming popular support among its people according to a newspaper poll there, yesterday conditioned a halt to fighting on the disarmament and dismantling of Hezbollah. It ruled out an immediate ceasefire but indicated it was willing to negotiate a solution with the UN and Washington.

For its part, Hezbollah rejected Annan’s plan, saying only an unconditional ceasefire followed by indirect negotations on a prisoner swap would be acceptable. In Britain, which has been accused of slavishly following the United States in foreign policy matters, the government said it did want the crisis to end as soon as possible. Prime Minister Tony Blair’s official spokesman said Britain supported the UN and had proposed the stabilisation force, but he said calling for a unilateral ceasefire was unlikely to have any long-term effect on peace in the region. This is not going to end so long as Hezbollah is firing rockets into Israel, so long as soldiers are kidnapped and not released,he added. Meanwhile, France—whose relations with the United States were strained after Paris’ opposition to military action against Iraq in 2003 — highlighted the strong views of those calling for a ceasefire. Speaking on French radio RMC Info, Defence Minister Michele Alliot Marie accused the White House of “blocking the workings of the United Nations Security Council.

Asked whether Washington was deliberately allowing Israel to pursue its offensive against Hezbollah, she said: There is no doubt an element of that in the analysis one can make of their position.In Beirut, French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste Blazy warned of a catastrophe in Lebanon if fighting continued, while President Jacques Chirac urged the European Union to mobilise a peace mission to secure a ceasefire. Chirac also spoke with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero by telephone on Thursday, while media said Zapatero had also spoken to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. A Madrid government spokesman said Spain condemned unreservedly the disproportionality of the armed Israeli response and the terrorist acts of Hamas and Hezbollah, calling for an immediate cessation of all armed Israeli aggression. The spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican communion, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, urged a diplomatic solution to the conflict, saying of London and Washington: They need to change their minds.I think here we really have to ask whether the governments of some Western countries are catching up with the consciences of their own people,he told BBC radio.

Israeli Troops Forge Farther into Lebanon
By Ken Ellingwood, Times Staff Writer

AVIVIM, Israel -- To a steady clap of artillery fire, columns of Israeli tanks and troops roared deeper into southern Lebanon on Saturday, battling to control a strategic hilltop village that the Israelis said was a Hezbollah stronghold.As tens of thousands of Lebanese fled the southern tier of their country over precarious, bombed-out roads, Israeli warplanes blasted communications towers in central and northern Lebanon, and struck the southern port city of Sidon for the first time. By late afternoon, Hezbollah had unleashed 90 rockets into Israel, striking Kiryat Shmona in the northern Galilee and Nahariya and the Haifa area along Israel's northern coast.In its most extensive incursion to date, the Israeli army punched through the border near this northern Israeli community and pushed at least 2 1/2 miles into Lebanon, commanders at the scene said, carving out a swath six miles wide that encompassed a dozen or more frontier Lebanese villages.

We are going there to kill them, to find them in bunkers and tunnels,Brig. Gen. Gal Hirsch, the commander of the army's Galilee division, told reporters. This takes time and required patience. This is war.By nightfall, Israeli commanders said paratroopers and soldiers from the elite Golani infantry brigade were in control of the village of Maroun al-Ras, a strategically valuable highpoint, after bombarding the parched valley below with artillery fire much of the day. This area had been the scene of intense fighting earlier in the week and is considered by the Israelis to be a launching pad for Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israel's northern towns.In nearby Marwaheen, another Lebanese village, soldiers uncovered a large cache of antitank missiles, launchers and assorted weaponry, ground forces commander Maj. Gen. Benny Gantz said.

Israeli officials insisted they were not mounting a full-scale invasion of Lebanon, a move that would mirror the first steps of what became a traumatic, 18-year-long occupation of southern Lebanon that ended in 2000. Instead, officials said the incursions into Lebanese territory, which began on a smaller scale earlier in the week, would be pinpoint search-and-destroy missions against the Shiite militia that has lobbed hundreds of rockets at northern Israel in recent weeks and taken two Israeli soldiers hostage.The ground action followed Israel's mobilization of thousands of reserve troops and two days of warnings to Lebanese to clear out of their homes in the section of the country south of the Litani River -- all hints of heavier, prolonged combat.Lebanese by the thousands packed themselves into cars and trucks and attempted to flee north, over crowded, bombed-splintered roads choked with dust and chaos. Exhausted and angry, families said they did not know where they would go, only that they could not remain in villages that have become hungry, wrecked wastelands.

I'm very sad to be leaving my home,said Hassan Shehab, a 45-year-old tailor who was stuck in traffic on a single-lane dirt road that leads toward Beirut from the southern seaside city of Tyre. Shehab's rear window was covered by a photograph of Hezbollah chief Sheik Hassan Nasrallah; he flicked the ashes from his cigarette with angry jerks of his arm.Israel wants to kill all of us,he said bitterly. They want this country.By midday Saturday, 14 bomb-battered bodies were delivered to the Tyre hospital from surrounding villages, and 30,000 evacuees were crammed into basements, schools and the lawns outside a beach resort.Lebanese and U.N. officials warned of a humanitarian crisis, estimating that at least 700,000 people have been displaced, 360 Lebanese civilians killed and more than 1,000 wounded since Israel launched its attacks a week and a half ago.The ground fighting so far has centered on the ridge where Maroun al-Ras sits, and where Israeli forces encountered stiff resistance. The area is seen as significant because its hilltop location and sweeping views to the east and west make it easier to aim at a range of targets in the Israeli plains below. Six Israeli commandos have been killed here in the last week of combat.

On Saturday, columns of five or six Israeli tanks and bulldozers could be seen advancing up the stony slope to Maroun al-Ras. There was still little sign of any massive movements of troops in the region.The procession into southern Lebanon was punctuated by blasts of Israeli artillery from Israel's side of the border, followed moments later by columns of pale gray dust in and around Maroun al-Ras as the shells landed. The Israeli convoys advanced past a U.N. outpost toward the village. One convoy stopped halfway up the hill. A second convoy skirted the ridge to the west behind a veil of dust as artillery shells slammed into the arid hillside, each time sending up a thunderous report and a fresh cloud.Army officials said the incursions would be limited in scale, aimed at pushing Hezbollah from the border, where the Shiite militants have dug in with reinforced outposts and tunnels during the six years since Israel withdrew in May 2000.

Soldiers who have taken part in the fighting on the Lebanese side of the border described a formidable, if small-scale, Hezbollah army armed with sophisticated weaponry and protected by a network of hardened underground bunkers and tunnels.One tank commander said groups of a dozen or so Israeli tanks, along with about 300 soldiers, had been moving in and out of Lebanese territory near Maroun al-Ras for days.Israeli armored crews ran into heavy fire from anti-tank missiles that were of high quality and advanced technology, said Cmdr. Siman Tov, a tank officer who is deputy commander of the armored brigade responsibility for covering Israel's northern border.Hezbollah has prepared for six years for this day. It is obvious to us,said Tov, a lanky 26-year-old wearing a buzz cut, wrap-around sunglasses and the standard green coveralls of tank crews.Tov said Maroun al-Ras had been defended by 50 to 100 Hezbollah fighters. Israeli forces had killed as many as 30 of them, he said.

Tov said the weapons stockpiled by Hezbollah were far more advanced than those employed by Palestinian fighters he had encountered during tank incursions in the Gaza Strip before Israel's withdrawal last summer. Israel launched a fresh incursion in Gaza last month after militants crossed the border and abducted a soldier.Although public opinion polls have suggested the Israeli public overwhelmingly backs the government's war aims, the prospect of ground operations might undermine some of that support. Peace protesters turned out for a small demonstration in Tel Aviv on Saturday for the first time since the start of the offensive.We do not believe in this war,said activist Adi Dagan. We do not believe that military force can impose a new order in Lebanon. ... We all want to get rid of Hezbollah, but this is not the right way.

Peretz OKs NATO Force in South Lebanon
By Hana Levi Julian(ARUTZ-7 INN)

Defense Minister Amir Peretz approved the use of NATO forces in south Lebanon Sunday morning in a meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.The German foreign minister was first on a list of several who were scheduled to meet with government officials today as they work to open a political front alongside the current military operation.Due to the weakness of the Lebanese army, we support the deployment in south Lebanon of a multi-national force with broad authority,said Peretz. The Defense Minister told reporters after the meeting that the force would be comprised of NATO soldiers.Peretz told Steinmeier that Israel was willing to consider diplomatic options in an effort to end the Re-Engagement War. However, he said, military goals would not be sacrificed in the process.

We are continuing military operations but also intend to create as broad a diplomatic operation as possible,he said.We definitely see a combination of the existing military activity and a complimentary international operation.Peretz warned, however, that international politics would not stay Israel’s military hand before the terrorist threat from Hizbullah was eliminated. The objectives that we set will be met,he said bluntly. French Foreign Minister Phillipe Douste-Blazy and British Foreign Office Minister for the Middle East Dr. Kim Howells were also both expected in Jerusalem later in the day. Douste-Blazy met on Sunday morning with city officials in Haifa, just before air raid sirens again began their call to residents to enter shelters and safe rooms. Two people were killed and twelve more were injured in the attack, one critically. The French foreign minister had barely left the city before the Katyushas began to rain down.

Other foreign ministers and diplomats are expected to come to Jerusalem within the week to carry on talks aimed at finding a solution to the murderous rocket attacks into the north of Israel and the bloody counter-terrorism efforts in south Lebanon.
Government officials in Jerusalem are currently expected to maintain the stance that ending the Re-Engagement War will depend primarily on the Lebanese, as well as on others who support Hizbullah in its bid to destroy the Jewish state.
