Israel sets Lebanon pullout deadline
JERUSALEM. Mar 6; Israel has formally set a July- deadline for withdrawing its troops from Lebanon, increasing pressure on Syria to restart peace talks or risk a unilateral Israeli move opposed by Damascus, reports Reuters.
The United States responded to the pullout decision adopted unanimously by Prime Minister Ehud Barak's cabinet on Sunday by urging Israel and Syria to resume negotiations that founded two months ago over the future of the Golan Heights.
*We believe that needs of all the parties are best addressed through negotiations," Philip Reeker. a spokesman for US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said in Prague, where she is visiting.
"That's why we are doing everything we can to get them
restarted and work towards a comprehensive peace." Reeker said.
Israeli leaders have long charged that Damascus uses Lebanese Hizbollah guerillas, who mount daily attacks on Israeli occupation forces in south Lebanon, to pressure Israel into concessions on the Syrian peace track.
A unilateral Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. Israeli commentators say. would weaken Syria's leverage. Syria has said It does not control Hizbollah and has gone on the record as opposing an Israeli pullout without a peace deal.
Although the cabinet decision was carried unanimously, several ministers have warned publicly of the possible danger to Israel’s northern border if Israel pulls out unilaterally and Syria does not rein In Hizbol-
lah .
Speaking on Israeli television after the cabinet ratified his long-standing pledge to bring the troops home by July. Barak said contacts with Washington were continuing on restarting the talks with Syria.
"We do not have contacts with the Syrians and I cannot say that 1 know if the talks will resume at all. 1 certainly cannot say they will succeed/ the Israeli leader said.
Earlier, the cabinet said in a statement: "The Israeli Defence Forces will deploy on the border with Lebanon by July 2000 and from there will ensure the safety of the northern towns and Ullages
"The government will act to ensure that this deployment will be carried out in the framework of an agreement." it said, reaffirming policy set by
Barak, who has said he would prefer a withdrawal to be linked to a Syrian peace accord.
But the statement, read by Cabinet Secretary Yitzhak Herzog, suggested that, if no peace accord were reached, the government would meet again to discuss how. but not whether, to Implement the pullout.
"In the event that conditions will not be conducive to IDF's (Israel Defence Forces) redeployment in the framework of an agreement, the government will convene at an appropriate time to discuss the method of implementation of the above mentioned decisions." the cabinet said.
Barak had made an Israeli pullout by July 7. 2000 — the first anniversary of his government — a key pledge in his election campaign last year.
