Lebanon renewed reservation on border demarcation

Lebanon renewed its reservation for the work of the U.N experts team working on border demarcation to make sure that any Israeli withdrawal is beyond the Lebanese international borders. Lebanon accused the U.N of taking the side of Israel in overlooking lands that are occupied by Israel.

Meantime, UN envoy Terry Larson headed today to Israel to hold talks with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and assistants concerning the issues surrounding the last Israeli withdrawal from south Lebanon.

Following his meeting yesterday with the Lebanese President Emil Lahud and Prime Minister Salim El-Hoss, Larson said "there is a Semi general agreement between the U.N and the Lebanese government concerning most of the issues related to implementing the Security Council's resolution N 425" adding that there are still remaining points of dispute concerning which Larson will hold discussions with the European envois - expressing his belief in the possibility of settling these points.
