Lebanon to present plan on Aug 31 to convince Hezbollah to disarm
Lebanon will present a plan on August 31 to convince Hezbollah to disarm, US Special Envoy for Syria and Lebanon, Thomas Barrack, said. The move is part of efforts to restore Lebanon's sovereignty. Israel has welcomed Lebanon's initiative and promised reciprocal military reductions from Lebanon if Hezbollah disarms, although Hezbollah has expressed strong opposition towards the plan.
