Israel has conveyed a message to Amos Hochstein, the special envoy of U.S. President Joe Biden, during his recent visit to the country.
According to the message, Israel is interested in the success of its diplomatic efforts, but if they fail, it will be committed to taking military action to push Hezbollah away from southern Lebanon.
Israel has clarified that without the removal of Hezbollah, residents of the north will refuse to return to their homes.
Israel is not optimistic about the diplomatic process but is attempting to follow it through to the end, primarily to gain legitimacy in case military action is necessary in the north.
Hezbollah has received $200 million from Iran to help Lebanese displaced by this year’s war with Israel, two people with direct knowledge of the transfer said, the first significant aid from the group to supporters who bore the brunt of the conflict.
Saudi Arabia has launched an air accident probe following last week's cockpit stabbing on a flydubai jet, as experts examine any fallout for aviation safety alongside a separate UAE-led criminal investigation, three people close to the matter said.
A reported CIA warning that Israel faces civil war or state collapse rests on anonymous briefings, an unpublished paper, and a unit whose job is to invent uncomfortable scenarios. That is a thin basis for a claim this large.
