Jerusalem Sunday messaged Washington that Israel is willing to pull out of a piece of land on the Lebanon border in accordance with the demands of the Hizb'allah - a terrorist organization that is increasingly extending its control over Israel's northern-most neighbor.

According to a report in the Israeli daily Ha'aretz, the Olmert government agreed to alter its 18-month-old policy and relinquish the northern part of Ghajar after receiving reassurances from the United Nations.

"A government source in Jerusalem said the decision was made after the Lebanese government delivered written assurances that UNIFIL would be given security and civilian control over the northern part of the village," the paper said.

Reporters visiting Lebanon have commented on how UNIFIL has proven powerless to effectively police the Hizb'allah terrorist organization which has been known to stock weaponry and in other ways break its ceasefire agreement - instituted after the Second Gulf War - right under the noses of the United Nations personnel.
