European and United Nations diplomats have traveled to Beirut to meet with the embattled Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora, who has called for an immediate, U.N.

But Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has tried to assert his government's authority by deploying thousands of soldiers to Hezbollah strongholds in the south near the Israeli border.
Specifically, the Saudi government, which acts as the Siniora government's primary supporter in the Arab world, has consistently encouraged it to reach an accommodation with Hizbullah rather than fight it.
But his speech prompted a barrage of scathing criticism, not least from Lebanon's prime minister, Fouad Siniora, with numerous commentators noting that while Syria arms and lauds Hizbullah, its own border with Israel has been dead quiet since 1974.
Mr Siniora's coalition of Sunni Muslims, right-wing Christian parties, liberals, and the main Druze faction led by Walid Jumblatt, did indeed win 72 of the Lebanese parliament's 128 seats in the spring of 2005, riding on sympathy generated by the assassination of Mr Siniora's patron Rafik Hariri, a billionaire and five-term prime minister.
