Picture Source: http://www.fpif.org/briefs/maps/map_is_leb_syr.jpg1. What is the issue?
The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was broken on 19 August 2006 because the Israeli military conducted a raid on the southern part of Lebanon where most Hezbollah members live. The Head of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, is very concerned about the violence.
2. Who is involved?
The United Nations, Kofi Annan, Israel, Lebanon, Hezbollah
3. Who is affected and how?
- The United Nations: Resolution 1701 by the United Nations was the ceasefire agreement.
- Isreal: Scared of Hezbollah getting weapons, so they attacked, which breaks the ceasefire.
- Lebanon: People in Lebanon are in danger from the raid.
- Hezbollah: Continues to fight with Israel and tries to get more weapons, which breaks the ceasefire.
4. What would you do if you were directly involved?
We know that the United Nations tried to create peace between these two countries with Resolution 1701. We also know this did not work. So, we would bring all of the parties involved together again to amend and improve upon the current resolution. We would review the failed resolution and determine what went wrong. We would also ask each group to tell all of us what their ideal solution would be. We would work together to come up with a solution that involves everyone’s needs. The goal of the amended resolution would be to address as many concerns as we can.

I wish I could stop this war because this disagreement between religous groups has already been for 1000 years.

I think that it is great what you said about the Lebanon. It is terrible how many people died. I think you did a great job and stated all the information though I do think that you should have stated how and why it started. I think that Lebanon took some of Israel’s soldiers. But over all great post.
