France proposes settling Israel-Lebanon dispute, Hezbollah withdrawal

India Today  

France has sent a written proposal to Lebanon which aims to end hostilities with Israel and settle the disputed Lebanon-Israel frontier. The document, the first written proposal brought to Beirut during weeks of Western mediation, was delivered to top Lebanese state officials including Prime Minister Najib Mikati by French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne last week, four senior Lebanese and three French officials said. Any such withdrawal could still leave Hezbollah fighters much closer to the border than the 30 km withdrawal to Lebanon's Litani River, stipulated in a UN resolution that ended a war with Israel in 2006. Up to 15,000 Lebanese army troops would be deployed in the border region of south Lebanon, a Hezbollah political stronghold where the group's fighters have long melted into society at times of calm. Within three days, step two would see Lebanese armed groups withdrawing combat forces at least 10 km north of the frontier and Lebanon would initiate the deployment of soldiers in the south.
