FRANCE INVITES HEZBOLLAH TO THE TABLE

Kowtowing to Hizbullah - Zvi Bar'el
The dilemma of whether Hizbullah emerged from the Second Lebanon War strengthened or weakened has been resolved by France. This weekend, Hizbullah figures will arrive in France to conduct a "national Lebanese dialog" under French supervision. This is the first time Hizbullah has been invited to France as a political entity equal to the other factions, for a meeting intended to find a solution to Lebanon's political future. (Ha'aretz)
