23/7/2006 10:50
French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy yesterday condemned Israeli
aggression on Lebanon as well as Hezbollah's attacks on northern Israel. He
condemned the Israeli attacks on Lebanese infrastructure, bridges, roads, food
factories, airports, and innocent civilians. "We have not seen such things
for more than 20 years," Douste- Blazy told a press conference in Amman. He
underlined the necessity of intensifying efforts to avoid further deterioration,
calling for a cease-fire and a full implementation of the UN Security Council
resolution 1559 under which Hezbollah militia should be disarmed. He also
expressed hope that the international conference which is scheduled to be held
in Rome on Wednesday would find a political solution to the Mideast crisis.
