The United States is against the displacement of Palestinians from the battered Gaza Strip to another country, its special envoy for humanitarian affairs in the Middle East, David Satterfield, told Lebanese broadcaster al-Jadeed on Wednesday.
Satterfield said Gazans displaced to the strip's south by Israel's military operations "must be allowed to return to homes in the north as soon as possible."
He said the U.S. "wants to see Israel succeed in its campaign," and warned Lebanese Hezbollah to halt missile fire on Israel if it wanted to avoid an escalation.
Lebanese lawmaker Samy Gemayel, head of the Kataëb Party, has been elected Vice-President of the Executive Council of the International Alliance of Centrist Democrats, according to a statement released Monday by Lebanon’s National News Agency.
The Israeli military on Sunday killed Hezbollah's top military official, Haytham Ali Tabtabai, in a strike on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital that came despite a year-long ceasefire.
Hezbollah’s acting chief of staff, Ali Tabatabai, was killed in a targeted strike on his safehouse in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district, according to security sources.
