UN worried by war of words between Israel and Lebanon
By Reuters

A recent wave of bellicose rhetoric between Israel and Lebanon has fueled fears the two hostile neighbors could be headed for another conflict, the UN special coordinator for Lebanon said on Friday. Exchanges of threats between Israel and neighboring Lebanon "have generated concerns of a renewed confrontation," Michael Williams told reporters after briefing the 15-nation Security Council on compliance with resolution 1701, which called for an end to Israel's war against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006. "This rhetoric and brinkmanship contravenes the very spirit of 1701 and is utterly unhelpful," he said. "I have called, and still call, on all relevant parties to desist from inflammatory statements." Williams said that Israeli and Lebanese officials have told him privately that they remain committed to peace. Lebanese and Syrian officials have been accusing Israel of pushing for a new war in the Middle East against the backdrop of an Iranian nuclear program that Israel considers a threat to its very survival.

If the UN wants to help, they should stay out of it.

All they do is run their mouths anyways aside from making "non-binding resolutions" that aren't worth the toilet paper they are poorly-scrawled on
