Lebanese officials fear a disputed clause in the U.S.-brokered cease-fire proposal for Gaza and Lebanon granting both sides a "right to self-defense" could evolve into "freedom of movement" for Israel, a point they have strongly opposed, London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported Saturday morning, citing diplomatic sources in Beirut.
In 2006, UN Resolution 1701 was not respected by Hezbollah. This time, Israel does not want to find itself in the same situation. This is why the principle of 'self-defense' is included in the proposal.
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A reported CIA warning that Israel faces civil war or state collapse rests on anonymous briefings, an unpublished paper, and a unit whose job is to invent uncomfortable scenarios.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.
