Siniora: Turn tragedy into opportunity for peace
Lebanese PM says during tour in destroyed Beirut suburb: 'If Israel acts wisely, we can move towards true peace'

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora sent a message of reconciliation Sunday, when he said during a Beirut speech: "I think that if Israel acts wisely, this would enable us to transform the tragedy that was inflicted on Lebanon into an opportunity to move towards true peace."

Siniora, who toured the southern Dahiyeh quarter accompanied by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hizbullah supporter, called on the international community "to do the maximum to save Lebanon."

Siniora: Israel now has a chance to make peace

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Sunday that Israel can exploit its military confrontation with Hezbollah in order to consummate a peace treaty with Beirut.

The premier said that in order for Jerusalem to take advantage of the opportunity for peace, "Israel has to behave wisely."

On the Syrian front, differences of opinion abound among the Israeli leadership over the possible renewal of peace negotiations with Damascus.

Amen.

I would sign a peace treaty with Lebanon right now, but I warn our Lebanese friends: The Olmert regime is not viewed highly in Israel at the moment. It might be best to wait and sign the treaty with a more stable government.

NO PEACE WITH ISRAEL AS LONG AS THE SHEBAA FARMS ARE OCCUPIED AND other issues,i'm with the 1949 truce treaty between the two countries.Aren't Shebaa farms seen by UN to be part of Syria occupied by Israel :? If so, Syria should hand it over to Lebanon officially (like treat signing or something like that).
Maybe detailed examining of French Mandate of Syria's and Greater Lebanon's maps would cast some light on the issue. Do you have where to find them (maybe some links)? The only map I can find is of Great Lebanon in... US :crazy:

In fact even Israel never officially annexed Golan Heights (including Shebaa Farms captured from Syria during 6 Day War which did not involve Lebanon). Golan Heights Law from 1981 (criticized in UN SCR 497) didn't make an annexation of Golan Heights, but made a jurisdiction of Israel over the territory.
