Shebaa Farms, Shebaa Farms

Senior Lebanese officials also linked the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Shebaa to Hezbollahs disarmament. "If the U.S. and friendly countries help us achieve the withdrawal of Israel from Shebaa farms, this would make it possible for the Lebanese forces to be the sole owner of weapons and arms in the country," Lebanese Prime Minister Foaud Seniora said. Those comments were echoed by Lebanese President mile Lahoud who said that "the resistance should be kept until a just and comprehensive peace is achieved in the region", adding that "if the Lebanese army were deployed along the borders (with Israel) ... it would be turned into a police force to protect Israel's borders, and this is not acceptable." Lebanese politician Walid Jumblatt has stated that Lebanon has no valid claim to the Shebaa farms area, though both the prime minister and president acknowledge that Lebanon does indeed have a claim to the Shebaa farms area.
