UN envoy to meet Nasrallah to discuss 'Israeli pullout' from Lebanon-claimed areas
A U.N. envoy of American nationality who is in charge of the Israeli file at the United Nations will visit Lebanon to carry out discussions related to the developments on Lebanon’s southern border, diplomatic sources said.
“Upon his arrival in Beirut, the envoy will request a meeting with Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to propose U.N. ideas regarding south Lebanon,” the sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper in remarks published Saturday.
“The envoy will ask Nasrallah about Hezbollah’s stance if the international organization presses Israel to withdraw from Ghajar, the Kfarshouba Hilla and the Lebanese part of the Shebaa Farms,” the sources said.
“Based on this meeting, if it happens, and in light of Nasrallah’s answer, the course of things on the border between Lebanon and Israel will become clear,” the sources added.
“Hezbollah’s erection of two tents in the Blue Line area of the Farms and Israel’s annexation of the Lebanese part of Ghajar came in preparation for the steps that are being mulled to achieve stability in that area that has witnessed tensions that peaked on Thursday,” the sources added.
