Kofi Annan Springs Into Action, Condemns Israel

He’s not one bit concerned that Syria and Iran are trying to rearm Hizballah as quickly as possible, but Kofi Annan says the Israeli raid in Lebanon violates the UN’s meaningless truce.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said an Israeli raid in Lebanon on Saturday violated the U.N.-backed truce and made him “deeply concerned.”

“The secretary-general is deeply concerned about a violation by the Israeli side of the cessation of hostilities as laid out in Security Council resolution 1701,” a spokesman for Annan said in a statement posted on the U.N. Web site. “The incident involved an Israeli raid in eastern Lebanon on Saturday.”

Israel said the commando attack on a Hizbollah stronghold in eastern Lebanon was defensive and was designed to disrupt weapons supplies to Hizbollah from Syria and Iran.
