Israel issues complaint to UN over Special Coordinator of Lebanon ’lenient’ position on Hezbollah

The Israeli enemy issued a complaint to the United Nations over UN Special Coordinator of Lebanon Michael Williams’ recent report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701, pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat reported on Sunday.

According to the report, Israel deemed the report as being “lenient” with Hezbollah, while UN circles said that Israel was “upset with Williams for a number of reasons, most notably the fact that he failed to mention resolution 1559 at Hezbollah’s request.”

Meanwhile, UN Security Council sources welcomed Williams’ report over his reassurance that the Lebanese-Israeli front has been calm since the release of resolution 1701. They also voiced relief that the Lebanese file would not have to be discussed at the Security Council seeing as all eyes are on the developments in Syria.

Williams has warned that Syria’s developments were weighing heavily on neighboring Lebanon where it risks sparking inter-religious clashes. "There is a great worry in Lebanon about this," said Williams, who raised the potential for "confessional clashes in Lebanon."
