Far too close to the front line for a French leader. Maybe he can invite them to Paris.

I believe chirac sees himself as a human shield. The Israeli's would never send a missile to a high level meeting attended by the terrorist players. chirac would be their guarantee that they could meet in safety.

Meetings at this level seem to have two basic styles:

In Syria: How can we escalate this (cause more Israeli deaths)?

In Israel: How can we de-escalate this?

The Israeli government should say they are now talking to the Lebanese government to help them eradicate Hezzbollah. That would cause quite a stir and bring a few heads up out of the ground. PSY-OPS!!!!

Now there's an idea I could get behind and relish

Just planting the seeds of doubt, nothing to see here, move along.:D
