Rich Lowry at NRO’s The Corner, has a projected cease fire timeline for the Hezbollah – Israeli conflict up derived from the sources he has been speaking with. Basically it’s as follows:
- UN cease fire proposal on Monday
- Actual cease fire mid-week with call for international peace keeping force
- France is playing a major role in the ceasefire negotiations
- 9,000 – 10,000 UN troops
- Lebanese military is a shell and not capable of playing any role
- High fear that the Lebanese government will collapse
- If Hezbollah hits Tel Aviv, all bets off and all out war
