"The lifting of the aerial blockade over Lebanon is a positive step but it is not complete and this is a sign of weakness for the Security Council and the UN which are not able to have control over Israel and impose their power or implement the 1701 resolution."

"We have discussed both the substance of the draft agreement between Lebanon and the United Nations, including the draft statute of the tribunal as well as the process to be followed, that is to say, the next steps towards the adoption of the agreement."
Residents of Beirut woke to the news of Israel ending its air blockade of Lebanon on Friday.
"The lifting of the aerial blockade over Lebanon is a positive step but it is not complete and this is a sign of weakness for the Security Council and the UN which are not able to have control over Israel and impose their power or implement the 1701 resolution," said one resident.
Israel ended the air blockade on Thursday.
An Israeli government spokesman also said on Friday that Israel will lift its naval blockade within 48 hours, once international forces arrive to monitor the seas.
The blockades were imposed at the start of Israel's recent war against Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon to keep the group's Syrian and Iranian backers from re-supplying it with arms.
They have severely hampered reconstruction of those parts of Lebanon battered in the Israeli military campaign.
Meanwhile, the UN Undersecretary General for Legal Affairs Nicolas Michel said he had discussed a draft statute of the tribunal to investigate the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri with judicial and political officials on Friday.
"We have discussed both the substance of the draft agreement between Lebanon and the United Nations, including the draft statute of the tribunal as well as the process to be followed, that is to say, the next steps towards the adoption of the agreement," Michel said.
The legal team handed Lebanese Justice Minister Charles Rizk a draft document on Thursday spelling out details of the structure and legal framework of an international tribunal.
Hariri was killed along with 22 others in a massive truck bombing in Beirut in February 2005, sparking massive anti-Syrian protests in Beirut and leading, along with international pressure, to the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon that ended a 29-year military presence.
