Jerusalem Post - As Israel boosts forces on Syrian border, UN Security Council urges "Lebanese parties" to recommit to home-country's policy of disassociation; Lebanese UN envoy pledges to keep borders open to Syrians fleeing violence.
UNITED NATIONS - The UN Security Council called on Lebanese Hezbollah militants on Wednesday to end any involvement in the conflict in neighboring Syria, while Lebanon's UN envoy pledged that his country would keep its borders open to Syrians fleeing the violence.

"The Security Council calls upon all Lebanese parties to recommit to Lebanon's policy of disassociation, to stand united behind President Michel Sleiman in this regard and to step back from any involvement in the Syrian crisis," the UN body said. More
