Hariri Meets Sarkozy amid French Concerns that Lebanon's Real Danger is Hizbullah, Not Israel Prime Minister Saad Hariri met Friday French President Nicolas Sarkozy, winding up a three-day official visit to Paris. Earlier Friday, Hariri met French and Lebanese businessmen. Sources close to Hariri said the Lebanese premier was in Paris to discuss the Middle East peace process and ways to promote bilateral ties. Hariri on Thursday met Prime Minister Francois Fillon and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner who feared Hizbullah would launch an adventure for the good of Iran. Hariri also met a number of other French officials. Hariri's external affairs advisor Mohammad Shatah said the premier's visit aims at "protecting Lebanon amid a critical regional situation and conflicts threatening the country." Kouchner said Lebanese' mounting concerns amid Israeli threats of another war were "not justified." "Israel is our friend, and if there was a threat to Lebanon, it will only come from a military adventure carried out by Hizbullah in the best interest of Iran," Kouchner warned.

France Won't Provide Lebanon with Gazelle Missiles for Fear They Could Reach Hizbullah France was reportedly worried that providing the Lebanese army with weapons, including missiles for the Gazelle helicopters, could end up in Hizbullah hands. France's stance was conveyed during a visit by Prime Minister Saad Hariri to Paris. It came in response to Hariri's request to provide Lebanon with Gazelle missiles since the Lebanese Air Force used up all the rockets against Fatah al-Islam militants during the battle of Nahr el-Bared in 2007. Pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat on Friday cited well-informed sources as saying that French officials and while expressing willingness in principle to provide Lebanon with weapons, French military commanders, however, voiced fear that such missiles could end up in Hizbullah hands and used in war against Israel. As-Safir newspaper, for its part, said French Prime Minister Francois Fillon has said that talks tackled "specific issues on the process of modernization of the Lebanese army," without being committed to steps toward arming the Lebanese army, particularly to provide helicopters with Hot missiles. The French position matched the U.S.' stance which was not enthusiastic about the issue of providing the Lebanese Air Force with weapons that could be used against Israel. The ten Puma helicopters that were part of UAE grant to Lebanon were also to be used for light transport and liaison roles and not for combat. Beirut, 22 Jan 10, 08:06

Hezbollah on Alert on Israeli-Lebanese border 22/01/2010 By Thair Abbas, Nazir Majjali, Souad Jarrous and Michel Abu Najm Beirut, Paris, Damascus, Asharq Al-Awsat - Tensions have escalated along the Israeli-Lebanese border as the Israeli army carried out drills on the northern frontier. Well-informed Lebanese sources confirmed to Asharq Al-Awsat that there is a state of alert within the Hezbollah ranks as Israeli troops were called up to the northern borders to carry out “military maneuvers”. The Lebanese sources added that Hezbollah called on its cadres to be on full alert in case Israel launches a surprise attack targeting Hezbollah’s bases and posts. A Hezbollah source told Asharq Al-Awsat: “Israel has accustomed us to aggression and we are used to being vigilant and on the lookout all the time. That is what we are doing.” The source refused to confirm or deny whether Hezbollah is on full alert [at present]. Other sources mentioned that Syria had begun calling up troops from the Fourth Reserve, which includes workers living in Lebanon. Syrian sources told Asharq Al-Awsat: “Syria opposes any aggression against any Arab country, especially Lebanon.” A senior Israeli army officer spoke to Asharq Al-Awsat and denied what had been published in Lebanon about Israel’s intentions of carrying out a military assault, asserting that Israel has no intention whatsoever to launch an offensive on Lebanon. Asked about such Israeli threats, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, in Paris, said that “France does not expect that there will be an Israeli military offensive” at present. However, Kouchner expressed fears that “some Iranian leaders” might deliberately try to escalate the situation in south [Lebanon].

כנראה קשור לכך שכבר שבוע בערך צה"ל מודיע בקולי קולות שהוא מבצע תרגיל גדול בצפון ושזו לא מזימה לתקוף במפתיע את לבנון. הסורים והחיזבים בסה"כ מתכוננים למקרה שבילפנו להם.
