Lebanon Files Complaint With UN Over Israeli Blockade

HeadlineSep 06, 2006

Meanwhile The Lebanese government has filed an official complaint with the UN Security Council to protest Israel’s continued air and sea blockade of the country. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he hopes Israel will soon lift the blockade.

  • Kofi Annan: “We are working on that problem very hard, it’s one of the issues on my agenda right from the beginning and I know it’s extremely important for the Lebanese government and for the people of the region. I don’t want to raise any false hopes, but I hope that within the next 48 hours we will have some news on that.”
