(Worthy News) – In a pivotal development for the region, Lebanon’s new leadership has submitted a detailed response to a U.S. proposal aimed at disarming Hezbollah and de-escalating hostilities with Israel. The plan, delivered last month by U.S. special envoy Thomas Barrack, outlines a four-month timeline for Hezbollah’s full disarmament in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and a cessation of airstrikes.
Following a meeting Monday with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Barrack expressed rare diplomatic optimism. “What the government gave us was something spectacular in a very short period of time. I’m unbelievably satisfied with the response,” said Barrack, who also serves as U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria. The Lebanese presidency confirmed that a seven-page reply had been submitted and included ideas for a “comprehensive solution.”
The response comes amid renewed Israeli airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as a cross-border ground assault targeting Hezbollah positions. Ten civilians were wounded in the strikes, Lebanon’s health ministry reported. The Israeli military claimed the operations targeted Hezbollah weapons systems and infrastructure near the border.
