The United States is planning to introduce a new U.N. resolution on
disarming Hezbollah in southern Lebanon but U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said
Monday this should not hold up the quick deployment of U.N. peacekeepers.

France, which commands the existing force U.N. force in Lebanon, known as
UNIFIL, had been expected to make a significant new contribution that would
form the backbone of the expanded force. But President Jacques Chirac
disappointed the U.N. and other countries last week by merely doubling
France's contingent of 200 soldiers.

Olmert further complicated matters by saying Sunday that countries which
don't have diplomatic relations with Israel should not be permitted to
contribute troops to the U.N. force. That would eliminate Indonesia,
Malaysia and Bangladesh - among the only countries to have offered
front-line troops.

In Washington, Bush opened a news conference by announcing the U.S. was
pledging an additional $230 million to help Lebanese rebuild, then urged
faster movement on beefing up the U.N. force.

"The international community must now designate the leadership of this new
international force, give it robust rules of engagement and deploy it as
quickly as possible to secure the peace," he said.

He said the U.N. force would help keep Hezbollah from acting as a "state
within a state."
