The U.N. Security Council on Friday unanimously approved a six-page proposal aimed at ending the monthlong conflict between Israel and Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.

Daniel Ayalon, Israel's ambassador to the United States, said before the vote that the Israeli Security Cabinet was likely to sign off on the resolution at its Sunday meeting.

Hopefully there'll be progress.

It's about damn time.  Not that I think it'll really have enough teeth to change things in the long run given the UN's history of abortive endeavors, but there's always a chance that it might, and it's great that people will no longer be dying needlessly.

Prediction: Hezbollah will attack Israel again this month, causing Israel to respond again. At which point many far left liberals will start their bullshit again

It'd be nice to give the civilians a breather, at least.
