Lebanon fears US cease-fire proposal would grant Israel 'freedom of movement'

Lebanese officials fear a disputed clause in the U.S.-brokered cease-fire proposal for Gaza and Lebanon granting both sides a "right to self-defense" could evolve into "freedom of movement" for Israel.

Lebanese officials fear a disputed clause in the U.S.-brokered cease-fire proposal for Gaza and Lebanon granting both sides a "right to self-defense" could evolve into "freedom of movement" for Israel, a point they have strongly opposed, London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported Saturday morning, citing diplomatic sources in Beirut.
In 2006, UN Resolution 1701 was not respected by Hezbollah. This time, Israel does not want to find itself in the same situation. This is why the principle of 'self-defense' is included in the proposal.
