The end is near (update)

Israel will soon end its offensive in Lebanon, but not all is well on the Israeli homefront:

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert faced a backlash on Friday over a U.N. proposal to end the war in Lebanon, with army officers saying they were held back and right-wing rivals calling for new elections.

The military has "accused Olmert of denying the army a chance to gain more ground militarily to secure a ceasefire that would be more favorable to Israel," and "[l]eading members of the right-wing opposition Likud party called the resolution a victory for Hizbollah".

There may soon be a cease-fire. An international force may soon provide border security. But another war may also be inevitable.
