Members of the Security Council will meet here Friday morning for consultations on Lebanon’s request Thursday for a Security Council meeting to condemn Israel’s incursion into Lebanon this week.
According to diplomats, the council will meet for a formal debate following the consultation. They said Lebanon may seek, in addition to condemnation, the imposition of “punitive measures” against Israel for its latest anti-terrorist operation inside Lebanese territory.
Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar sharply deplored the Israeli operation on Tuesday, terming it a violation of Lebanese sovereignty.
