Christian Groups Press for Middle East Ceasefire

Christian leaders are pressing for an immediate cease fire in Lebanon, as reported by RNS’ Senior Editor David E. Anderson, in the RNS full text article of the week, linked above.

The Bush administration, however, has rejected calls for cease-fire as premature or “not sustainable.” Instead, it wants Hezbollah removed as a threat to Israel, either by the disarming of the organization, which is both a military force and a political party in Lebanon, or by removing Hezbollah weapons from a buffer zone along the Israeli border, according to wire reports from Beirut.
