The draft Security Council Resolution on the Israeli / Hizbollah war is out. It basically says that Hizbollah should stop firing missiles and Israel can keep bombing Lebanon at will.

As stated in the draft resolution:

OP1. Calls for a full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hizbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations

Since the Israeli government has insisted that all its operations are “defensive” (and thus not “offensive”), and the US/Israeli message has been “Israel has a right to defend itsself”, this means it may continue its attacks under this draft resolution.

Don’t you just LOVE fake diplomacy?
