EU peacekeepers could be going to Lebanon
ISRAELI Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said overnight that his government would accept a peacekeeping force in Lebanon "made up of troops from European Union countries". "Israel is ready to see deployment of a force with military capabilities and combat experience made up of troops from European Union countries once its mandate has been fixed," Mr Olmert said during talks with visiting German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The mandate "will have to include control of the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, deployment in south Lebanon and support for the Lebanese army", he said.
