France Will Lead The Peace Keeping Force In Lebanon

Guess I was wrong on this, it won't be lead by US or British troops but French Troops. And The leader of Hezbolla has Agreed to the Peace Terms set by the UN. Can it really be this easy? Time will tell. But here are some of the Key Points to the UN peace deal.

• An immediate cessation of hostilities agreed to by Israel and the Lebanese government. Most significantly the agreement is not with Hezbollah — and it is not clear whether it will sign on or whether its Syrian and Iranian backers will place any pressure on it to stop fighting.

• The release of the abducted Israeli soldiers and a “settlement of the issue of Lebanese prisoners detained in Israel” — a prisoner exchange of some sort. It is not clear whether it will be simultaneous, or down the road, or whether either side will agree.

• The disarmament of all militias and a demilitarized zone from the Israeli border up until the Litani River inside Lebanon. Only the Lebanese army and the new international force being deployed in the buffer zone will be allowed to carry arms there. IE FOX NEWS.
