"UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will demand that Israel pay Lebanon $1 billion in compensation over damages caused during the Jewish state's 2006 war against Hizbullah, Lebanese media reported Saturday." I have no doubt that Lebanese media got this one wrong. More likely, Ban Ki-moon will ask Lebanon to pay $1 billion to Israel to compensate for the "anguish of Israeli soldiers" during their bombing of Lebanon. (thanks Rania)
