President Putin already say will replace the Austrians. Thanks Mr Putin, we do not want any austriac in our borders.

When the going gets tough, the United Nations gets going. Netanyahu made a very valid point: if the peacekeepers can decide arbitrarily not to remain in situ, then aren't all promises made to Israel essentially worthless?

In 1973 an austrian Battalion moved in 24 hours to the Sinai. Under harsh conditions supplying the encerlced 2. Egyptian Army. In the last years the Posters were fond of how many friends Israel has. UN General Assembly last year a dozen friends are remaining. And Nauru cannot come. No Army. The austrian mountain troops are the best in the world With good words and recognition the Story would be the other way round. Austria Hitlers birthplace, you are stigmatised till the end of time. What do you expect.

can throw their guns away and go home because they cannot keep the peace between the waring factions - that means Israel never at war with anybody - shine the light shine in the dark places for us to see the lies - Amen!

Which only shows once again that Bibi is right in stating that Israel must always be responsible for its own security and not rely on others. In view of threats to Israel from the Syrian regime and also from the extremist Islamic rebels perhaps the IDF should replace the Austrians.

do it before putin sends in his special forces.

Since Israel is the most prosecuted country in the UN, then these soldiers should have evacuated though Syria (yes!!!!!) or though the north in Lebanon (but of course, through Syria also).... If Israel is better for saving people, then stop making Israel the bad guy in the UN.

they could be trusted more than now! back then at least they were more honest of their intentions. if they where allowed to take the place of the austrians they would have dug a hole under Israel and all the embassies so they could spy on everyone.

...STFU

UN leave your equipment for the Israelis. They will repaint the vehicles and make good use of the weaponry.

Not a lot of requests for mountain troops in the Middle East ....

At the first sign of trouble - the U.N. takes off! They have been doing it for years.....

Facts on the ground voided agreement. But UN has obligation to preclude massive bloodshed. So, with all due respect to author legal musings, Russian troops are acoming. And if I was an Israeli I would be elated those aren't Saudi Arabians.

With leaders like Netaneyahoo Israel needs to be prepared for any eventuality.

austrian mountain troops are the best in the world you say no surprise, they will be the best in any place where no enemies around

13 you live in the USA and in Israel. I guess mostly in US. Since 40 years austrian mountain troops secure the most sensitive Mount Hermon (2.800) m. Good Job for Fiji Isländers ! And N 17 since more than 50 years were 100.000 austrians in UN.NATO and EU peacekeeping (and never pulled out. The Resistance of Syria a n d Israel to agree to austrians tanks and APC and the UN helpless was the main reason. You are No 1 in Soccer but we are No 1 in skiing ! And mounitain troops ? we found it out.

1st.Russian troops are not coming anywhere near here so you're full sh!t. 2nd. Russian were helping Egypt and Syria and so what? Result was the same as it will be this time. Ask soviet soldiers that served in the Middle East in the 60s and 70s they know that idf packs one hell of a punch.
