French Lawmaker: A Future War on Lebanon Would be Disastrous for Israel

Al-Manar

06/03/2010 French former Justice Minister MP Elizabeth Guigou said that any Israeli war on Lebanon in the future would be disastrous for Israel, in the wake of its failure in its 2006 war and its recent war on Gaza. Speaking to the Lebanese news Website ‘elnashra’, on the sidelines of her visit to Beirut, Guigou said that Israel has its eyes set on Iran.

She expressed her admiration for Lebanon because “every time, this country manages to rise from the ashes and it has great potential.” Guigou pointed that Syria’s return to the international arena was essential because “it will be helpful to the international community to stop extremists, from all sides, from achieving their goals.”

On “Arab-Israeli peace”, Guigou stressed the necessity to move forward saying that “Israel realizes that it cannot ensure its continuity because of the Arab demographic development.” The French lawmaker called for benefiting from the current circumstance as the European Union agrees with the United States on the two-state-solution as a viable solution.
