lpv:translated text	". Mr President, that Syria is playing a game in Lebanon with the international community is evident from both President Assad’s parliamentary speech last Saturday and his agreements yesterday with his Lebanese counterpart, Mr Lahud. The Security Council’s Resolution 1559 is not yet applicable to Damascus. It clearly demands the total and immediate withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanese territory. Ominously, at the end of last week, the Syrian Head of State did not breathe a word about the influential presence, within Lebanese territory, of his secret services, which would appear not to form part of the Syrian troop movements there. This is consistent with the recent Israeli observation that Syria is currently preoccupied with strengthening its secret presence in the land of the cedar, something of which the UN Secretary-General was officially informed yesterday by the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs. There is yet another way in which Damascus is brazenly flouting resolution 1559. The resolution stipulates the disbanding of all militias in Lebanon. This would involve the dismantling of the Shiite terror movement Hezbollah, pawn of both Syria and Iran against the Jewish state, as well as the forced departure of dozens of officers of the Iranian revolutionary guard, who train Hezbollah and Palestinian terror groups within Lebanon’s borders. Given the seriousness of the situation in Lebanon, I hope that the Council and the Commission will deliberately obstruct those forces in Syria, Lebanon and Iran that do not want to know of a fully-fledged Lebanese state sovereignty, or like any political settlement between Israel and its closest Arab neighbours. Damascus, Teheran and their Lebanese satellites should stop their sinister game once and for all. It is up to the Council and the Commission to do something practical to bring this about. They would, for example, do well to start by placing Hezbollah on the European list of terror organisations."@en1
