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."
For decades, the “two-state solution” has been presented as the only path to peace. History suggests otherwise: two states already stand on the land of the British Mandate, Israel and Jordan. The question is what a third one would be for.
The Yisrael Beytenu leader says he is ready to compromise, even on military service for yeshiva students, but still rules out any deal with Arab parties.
Israel’s flag carrier grew third-quarter revenue 18% to a record $1.27 billion. But fuel costs, a stronger shekel and the return of foreign competitors are starting to weigh on its margins.
