Envoy says US support Israel in Lebanon even if "mass killing" occurs Text
of report by Israel radio on 22 July

Israel's Ambassador to Washington Dani Ayalon says that the United States
is giving Israel its total support without any time limits to operate in
Lebanon.

Speaking with our Washington correspondent Yaron Deqel, Ambassador Ayalon
said that even if a mass killing or other mishaps occur - which Israel has
been careful not to commit - the Washington administration will continue
to give its backing, and so will the US congress and public opinion.

Our correspondent points out that Nancy Pelosi, leader of the Democratic
minority in the House of Representatives, refused to sign a draft
resolution in support of Israel passed by the Congress this week.
