US special envoy Thomas Barrack says he is “unbelievably satisfied” with the Lebanese government’s reply to an American proposal on how to disarm Hezbollah, after the terror group signaled in recent days that it would not give up all its arms.
“What the government gave us was something spectacular in a very short period of time. I’m unbelievably satisfied with the response,” Barrack tells reporters after meeting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, without giving details of the response.
Aoun’s team gave Barrack a seven-page reply to his June 19 proposal.
