Lebanon has agreed to present a plan aimed at persuading Hezbollah to disarm, and Israel will submit a corresponding framework for its military withdrawal, United States envoy Tom Barrack says, as the Lebanese armed group has repeatedly made clear it has no intention of doing so while Israel continues its attacks on the country and occupies parts of the south.
Speaking on Tuesday after talks with President Joseph Aoun in Beirut, Barrack said the plan would be presented on Sunday and would not involve military coercion but would focus on efforts to encourage Hezbollah to surrender its weapons.
