Lebanon Rejects Peace With Israel
Joseph S. Mayton - All Headline News Middle East Correspondent Beirut, Lebanon (AHN) - Lebanon rejected the notion that their would be a lasting peace with Israel on Wednesday. This comes despite key international leaders in the region, including United Nations chief Kofi Annan have tried to achieve a more stable peace. "Lebanon will be the last Arab country that could sign a peace agreement with Israel," Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora told a news conference in Beirut. "There will be no agreement with Israel before there is a global peace deal that is just and lasting," the Prime Minister said. The Lebanese leader said that there had been no contact of any kind between the two states concerning a peace agreement. A fragile ceasefire ended the 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah on August 14. Over 1,000 Lebanese were killing in Israeli bombings, mostly civilians, and over 100 Israelis were killed, mostly soldiers.
