Israel to leave Lebanon as int'l forces deployed
Jerusalem, Aug 13: Israeli troops will leave southern Lebanon only when the Lebanese army and an international force are in place, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said today.
''Israel will leave in tandem with the deployment south of the Lebanese army along with the international force -- not a situation where we see that a Lebanese army soldier has arrived and now they tell us to leave,'' she told a news conference.
''But we can, we desire -- and this is Israel's decision -- to leave parallel to the move south of the international forces with the Lebanese army.''
