US suggests Hezbollah withdraw seven kilometres from Israeli border

The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported that US President Joe Biden's envoy, Amos Hochstein, made a proposal during his visit to Beirut last week to push Hezbollah operatives seven kilometres from the border with Israel and station the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon.

According to the report by Al-Akhbar, considered to be aligned with Hezbollah, Hochstein said that "there is no need for a withdrawal [of the organisation] to north of the Litani River".
