The
International Delegate, Terry Rod Larsen is back again in
Beirut today, carrying Israeli Prime Minister Ihud Barak's
answers, speaking of amendments regarding the Borders.
-
Larsen
will be informed by President of the Republic, Emile
Lahhoud, the Lebanese Firm Points which are simplified in
not giving up a hand-span of any Lebanese territories, and
not a drop of the Lebanese waters, indicating to the
existence of the Occupying Forces in three locations:
Rmeish surroundings, Al Ghajar village, Miskaf Aam colony,
and Al Wazzani-Al Hassbani factories where water robbery
is still occuring. Sticking to the Lebanese identity of
Shebaa Farms, Lebanon refuses what Barak calls for the
Borders of 1978 as 'Practical Borders', insisting on the
Official International Borders. However, it is expected
that Larsen handles his final report to the UN General
Secretary, Kofi Anan, so that the latter announces
executing the Withdrawal Verification in order to start
the implementation of Resolution 425, then Resolution 426.
