Despite the recent revelations casting UN neutrality and trustworthiness in doubt, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Anan stated last night the \"need for the establishment of an international peacekeeping force\" to implement the recommendations of the Mitchell Committee. He said that without such an arrangement, it would not happen. Israel remains adamantly opposed to the deployment of an international force in the area.
The United States recently joined Israel in demanding that the UN provide Israel with an uncensored videotape that may cast light on the Hizbullah kidnapping of three Israeli soldiers nine months ago. The UN had long falsely maintained that there was no such tape, and now insists on giving Israel only an \"edited\" version. It was also learned yesterday that UNIFIL peacekeeping agents were bribed to cooperate with Hizbullah in its combat against Israel.
