No war in the South And Spain is Against Amending Rules of Engaement
Spanish ambassador to Lebanon Juan Carlos Gafo stressed the importance of implementing United Nations Security Council resolution 1701 adding that there are great positive signs in Lebanon that stretch to the south saying no one has an interest in a new war.
"In my opinion war won”t happen, despite the threats we hear," Gafo told the daily As-Safir on Saturday.
He denied news that the rules of engagement in the south or the articles of UNSC 1701 would change. The Spanish ambassador reiterated his country”s stance against any amendments to the international resolution.
He also ruled out an Israeli insistence on fostering amendments.
Gafo said the Lebanese government would be formed despite some delays expressing his trust in the prime minister-designate and other national elements would find the proper formula for doing so.
