Ramifications, dangers and advice that will rest unheeded by Israel

FT.com / World / UK - Britain warns Israel against ground invasion: "Speaking at her home in Derby, Ms Beckett also said western governments had no concrete proof that Iran and Syria were behind Hizbollah's attacks.

'I'm not sure that any government anywhere in the world would tell you that they've got cast-iron proof [of Iranian and Syrian involvement],' she said. 'What I can tell you is that almost every government in the world shares our view.'

British foreign affairs officials have expressed doubts over whether the full-scale Israeli assault has been effective in eliminating Hizbollah missiles or has served instead to radicalise Lebanese opinion. Ms Beckett indicated guarded support for her staff."
