Ortagus' visit reportedly postponed until next month

Deputy U.S. Envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus has postponed her visit to Lebanon until next month, pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar newspaper said.

The daily reported Thursday that the presidency has been informed of the postponement of Ortagus' visit from May to June, adding that the reason might be President Joseph Aoun's busy schedule.

In a previous report, al-Akhbar said Ortagus will carry with her a list of U.S. conditions for Israel's complete withdrawal from south Lebanon and a halt of its attacks on the country and will pressure Lebanon to consider joining peace accords with Israel.

Ortagus said Tuesday that Lebanon still has "more" to do in disarming Hezbollah not just south of the Litani.
