Jerusalem - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday that his government would accept a peacekeeping force in south Lebanon "made up of troops from European Union countries".
"Israel is ready to see deployment of a force with military capabilities and combat experience made up of troops from European Union countries once its mandate has been fixed," Olmert said during talks with visiting German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
