"Israeli Planes Pound Targets in Lebanon"

"Israel Rejects U.N. Request for Cease-Fire"

The war continues with Israel not giving up.
Sec Rice will arrive with a deal:

"As the fighting continued, Rice was bringing a package of proposals to Lebanese and Israeli leaders aimed at ending the fighting. She plans to meet first with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem on Saturday night, said Mark Regev, spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry."

"Rice's peace plan seeks an international agreement on a U.N.-mandated multinational force that can provide stability in the region, according to a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions."

"It also proposes disarming Hezbollah and integrating the guerrilla force into the Lebanese army, a commitment to resolve the status of a piece of land held by Israel and claimed by Lebanon, a no-go buffer zone be set up in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah returning Israeli prisoners, and the creation of an international reconstruction plan for Lebanon."

A UN force? And rewards for Hezbollah's aggression? And integrating Hezbollah into the Lebanese government? It sounds like appeasement to me.
