Peres: "Lebanon Cannot Behave Like They Are Responsible for Nothing and the Whole World Owes Them Everything"

Addressing a large gathering of American Jewish leaders under the auspices of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Monday, Israel's Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres defined five elements of victory in the current conflict with Hezbollah: 1) to prevent the return of Hezbollah to the southern border of Lebanon, which must be secured by the Lebanese army, 2) to return the kidnapped soldiers to Israel, 3) to end the shooting of missiles and rockets into Israel, 4) to prevent the resupply of rockets and missiles to Hezbollah by Iran and Syria, and 5) to free Lebanon from the control of Hezbollah.
