Hezbollah political bureau member Mahmoud Qmati has said that a deadline must be set for Israel and not for Hezbollah, calling again for Israel's halt of attacks and withdrawal from south Lebanon before demanding Hezbollah to disarm.

Qmati said Sunday that liberating the five occupied hills in south Lebanon, freeing the Lebanese prisoners, halting the "Israeli aggression and violations", and the "unconditional reconstruction" of war-hit regions have always been a national priority to the President, the Prime Minister and the Lebanese government.

Quorum was maintained Monday after the MPs of the Lebanese Forces and the Kataeb Party and some Change and independent MPs walked out of parliament after a bill related to expat voting was not put on the agenda.

President Joseph Aoun met Monday with the new chief of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Major General Diodato Abagnara of Italy.

Israel said Monday it is "interested" in striking peace agreements with neighboring Lebanon and Syria, a potentially historic shift in the region after decades of war and animosity.

With Syria under new leadership after the fall of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement weakened, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar told journalists his government wanted more normalization agreements with Arab countries.

With the Iran-Israel war opening up a new road for the Mideast, Syria and Lebanon need to reach peace agreements with Israel, the U.S. special envoy to Syria said Sunday.

"President (Ahmad) al-Sharaa has indicated that he doesn’t hate Israel... and that he wants peace on that border. I think that will also happen with Lebanon. It’s a necessity to have an agreement with Israel," Tom Barrack said in an interview with Turkey’s state news agency Anadolu.

The Lebanese response to U.S. envoy Tom Barrack’s paper is based on the “step-for-step” principle, “contrary to the U.S. envoy’s paper which calls on the Lebanese side to be handed over Hezbollah’s arms as a gateway for U.S. pressure on Israel to withdraw from the South,” Lebanese officials told Al-Jadeed TV.

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a Ashoura commemorations televised speech overnight that the "ongoing aggression" by Israel "must not be allowed to continue."

Israeli drones fired two missiles at dawn Sunday at two homes in the southern border towns of Aita al-Shaab and Ramyeh, causing material damage, the state-run National News Agency reported.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his support for Lebanon.

Syria said Friday that authorities had seized some three million pills of the illicit stimulant captagon after clashes with a drug trafficking network near the Lebanese border.
