Lebanon
The U.S. mission to the United Nations confirmed a Security Council vote will take place on Thursday morning.
After a meeting in Beirut, Tom Barrack said gathered reporters must “act tolerant, because this is the problem with what’s happening in the region.”
The Lebanese government intends to submit a non-military proposal aiming to persuade the Iranian terror proxy to lay down arms, according to U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack.
“The IDF will continue to operate to remove threats posed to the citizens of Israel.”
If the Lebanese army takes action to remove weapons from the hands of the Iranian terror proxy, then the IDF will engage in reciprocal measures, said the Israeli premier.
The message was clear: Hezbollah would resist at any cost and would not accept dictates from the government.
The military described the terrorist assets as a “violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
It is intended to be the first step in removing weapons from armed militias and terror groups throughout the country.
The civilian was handed over at the Rosh Hanikra Crossing.
Israel earlier attacked targets belonging to the Iranian proxy.
Washington pulled funding for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon over its “abject failure” to contain Hezbollah.
“I think the Lebanese government has done their part. They’ve taken the first step. Now what we need is Israel to comply with that equal handshake,” said U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack.
