The U.S. special envoy to Lebanon said Monday that his team would discuss the long-term cessation of hostilities with Israel, after Beirut endorsed a U.S.-backed plan for the Hezbollah militant group to disarm.

Tom Barrack, following a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, also said Washington would seek an economic proposal for post-war reconstruction in the country, after months of shuttle diplomacy between the U.S. and Lebanon.

    I think you´ve strayed far and wide from your original claim that Lebanon is on the brink of being conquered by Israel and the only thing keeping them from acting on it is, apparently, Hezbollah being allowed to fire a rocket or mortar across the border every once in a while

      I have no issue with disarming Hezbollah, on the condition that the Lebanese Armed Forces are sufficiently strong to repel the inevitable Zionist aggression. Lebanon has enough issues to deal with without foreign interference on behalf of an avowed enemy.

      “Trust me bro” doesn’t work when Ashkenazi supremacists want to expand their holocaust outside occupied Palestine.
