The United States is planning for its military to train the Lebanese army to confront Hezbollah and ultimately disarm the terror group, the Kan public broadcaster reports, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to the report, the initiative has Israeli backing and was discussed during talks between Israeli and Lebanese delegations in Washington aimed at reaching a lasting ceasefire agreement and advancing Hezbollah’s disarmament.
