Chirac : "giving up on cease-fire is the most immoral of all solutions"
Edited on Wed Aug-09-06 06:42 AM by tocqueville
he too emphasized Lebanon's right to sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Chirac, speaking at a news conference in southern France after an urgent meeting with three Cabinet ministers, implicitly criticized U.S. reservations about pushing for an immediate cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

"The most immoral of solutions would be to accept the current situation and give up on an immediate cease-fire," he said.

He added that the draft resolution should take into account Lebanese and Arab demands for changes - but did not specify which ones.

................

France proposed new language on a total cease-fire and IDF pullout, which the Americans rejected because of concern that without a robust international force, a vacuum would be created in the Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon, the diplomats said.
