- 19 July 2006
- The UN Middle East
Crisis Team met with
Israeli Foreign Minister
Tzippi Livni in
Jerusalem after high
level discussions in
Beirut with Lebanese
counterparts. A
member of the United
Nations team said that
talks with senior
Israeli officials were
“good, intensive and
productive” and the
dialogue continues.
“The
UN delegation has
presented concrete ideas
on how to resolve the
current crisis and reach
an end of hostilities,”
said Terje Roed-Larsen,
member of the UN Crisis
Team led by Vijay
Nambiar and includes
Alvaro de Soto following
their meeting with
Israeli Foreign
Minister.
“The
Government of Israel
will now deliberate on
these ideas and so will
their counterparts in
Lebanon,” he said,
while adding that the
dialogue would continue
with both Israel and
Lebanon continues.
Mr.
Roed-Larsen said that to
share details of the
talks at this time would
be “counter-productive”.
“But,”
he quickly added, “I
can assure you that the
Secretary-General and
his team are working
very hard on specific
ideas to get us out of
the current crisis.”
Kofi
Annan, in Brussels, has
been addressing the
Middle East crisis at
the recent G8 Summit in
Saint Petersburg, said
the UN team is working
day and night with both
parties to end the
hostilities.
“They
want to see the soldiers
released, they want to
see the Hizbollah
shelling stop, they want
to see the Israel
shelling and bombardment
stop, and they are in
discussions with the
parties,” he
said.
