Shalom: International Community should Prevent Hizbullah’s Control on Lebanon

Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom reportedly said Wednesday that the international community should take steps to prevent Hizbullah from controlling Lebanon.

Israel radio quoted Shalom as saying that the situation in Lebanon is dangerous because Iran controls Hizbullah’s movements.

“The international community should move to prevent the party’s control on Lebanon,” he said.

On Sunday, Shalom warned that a Hizbullah-led cabinet would mean "an Iranian government on Israel's northern border."
