Hezbollah slams UN for biased briefing - Video
The UN's Special Representative for the Implementation of Resolution 1559 -- Terje Roed-Larsen -- spoke before the Security Council on Friday in a closed session.
1559 calls for the withdrawal of Syrian and Israeli forces from Lebanon and for Hezbollah to disband. Roed-Larsen has delivered more than a dozen such reports to the Security Council -- even though 1559 was rendered obsolete by Resolution 1701 -- which was intended to resolve the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. The question is why Roed-Larsen is still delivering briefings on an outdated resolution?
Abboud adds that recent events across the Arab world make Roed-Larsen's work as Lebanon special envoy even more redundant. Hezbollah has slammed the briefing as unjust and biased, and described the UN special envoy to the Middle East as "international official servant in the Zionist media system that reflects the full participation of hostility towards the Resistance, Lebanon, Arabs and all just causes in the world."
