Lebanon Pressing on With Bid to Disarm Hezbollah, Premier Says

Lebanon’s government signaled it’s open to expanding its role in the US-led task force monitoring the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and stepping up efforts to disarm the Iran-backed militia.

More Lebanese civilian experts can be added to the committee “when need be,” Prime Minister Nawaf Salam told Bloomberg in an interview. He gave the example of “lawyers, topographers” who might consult on border demarcations and other unresolved issues between Israel and Lebanon, which have no formal diplomatic relations.
