U.S. Envoy Says Hizbullah Must Be Disarmed "as Soon as Possible"
(Reuters) U.S. deputy presidential envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus told Lebanon's LBCI in Beirut on Sunday that Hizbullah should be disarmed "as soon as possible" and that Lebanese troops were expected to do the job. "It's clear that Hizbullah has to be disarmed and it's clear that Israel is not going to accept terrorists shooting at them, into their country, and that's a position we understand," Ortagus said. "We continue to press on this [Lebanese] government to fully fulfill the cessation of hostilities and that includes disarming Hizbullah and all militias....The sooner that the LAF (Lebanese Armed Forces) is able to meet these goals and disarm all militias in the state, the sooner the Lebanese people can be free."
