Olmert 'planned Lebanon war before soldiers' kidnap'
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
The Independent, Friday, 9 March 2007
Ehud Olmert's decision to go to war in Lebanon in response to
abductions of soldiers was taken as early as March 2006, according
to a leak of his evidence to the commission investigating the war.
The report means that the military strategy was decided more than
three months before it was triggered by Hizbollah's abductions of
two soldiers on Israel's northern border in July. Israeli officials
said this was broadly in line with what the Prime Minister has
already told the cabinet.
Mr Olmert partly used his appearance two weeks ago before the
Winograd Commission to defend himself against charges that the
government stumbled unprepared into the five-week war.
But the report will fuel claims by some international critics of the
operation that Israel, and perhaps the US, had for some time decided
in favour of a military confrontation with the Lebanese group.
The report, in Haaretz, also suggests that Mr Olmert was told in May
that Lebanon was ready to enforce UN resolution 1559, which
prescribed the disarming of Hizbollah in return for withdrawal from
Shaba Farms, the border zone occupied by Israel which is projected
as a casus belli by Hizbollah, but which is also claimed by Syria.
It says he passed the message to President Bush, Tony Blair and
President Jacques Chirac.
According to the paper, Mr Olmert told the commission that he had
held a series of meetings after becoming Prime Minister and had
decided that in the event of abductions there should be air attacks,
accompanied by a limited ground operation. He told the military that
he wanted to decide ahead of any such event rather than make a snap
decision at the time.
He also defended the much criticised expansion of the ground
invasion in the last 48 hours of the war after the UN had agreed on
a ceasefire-an operation, which cost the lives of 33 Israeli
soldiers. He said the objective had been to influence the draft UN
resolution, which he regarded as too unfavourable to Israel.
* The Israeli military said last night it was looking into a report
by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem that it used an
11-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man as "human
shields" while searching for gunmen in its sweep of Nablus last
month.
"When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to
his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the
government of Israel."
