Lebanon Complains to UN on Israeli Monument Placed on Occupied Lebanese Territories

Lebanon sent a letter of complaint to the United Nations Security Council today (April 23, 2010), after Israel unveiled a monument in occupied Lebanese territories on April 21, according to the Earth Times website.

The Lebanese foreign ministry sent the letter through its mission in New York, complaining the monument was put in an area near al-Bakkar pond southwest of the town of Shebaa, which is located inside the Lebanese territories.

In the letter, Lebanese Foreign Minister Ali al-Shami urged the UN to ask Israel to remove the monument and withdraw its troops beyond the international border.

Shebaa Farms is located at the junction of southeast Lebanon, southwest Syria, and northern Israel.
