French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné has modified the proposal for a settlement between Israel and Hezbollah, removing a demand for the terror group to withdraw its forces north of the Litani River, Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar reported on Monday, citing sources familiar with the details of the discussions.
The draft instead mentions "redeployment" without further details.
The remaining clauses address "ceasing military operations in accordance with UN Resolution 1701, ensuring the return of residents of southern Lebanon and northern Israel to their homes, deploying 15,000 soldiers from the Lebanese army south of the Litani (after strengthening the army), and initiating negotiations on border issues."
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A reported CIA warning that Israel faces civil war or state collapse rests on anonymous briefings, an unpublished paper, and a unit whose job is to invent uncomfortable scenarios.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.
