A Lebanese newspaper close to Hezbollah said that Israel has set a deadline of March 15 to reach a political settlement with Lebanon. The newspaper added that Israel’s talk about the deadline has increased the concern of Western countries.
Sources warned that any discussion about political arrangements in Lebanon and a ceasefire will not be translatable as long as the shooting continues in the Gaza Strip. Last Monday, US Presidential Envoy for Energy Affairs Amos Hockstein visited Beirut in an effort to reached a political solution between Lebanon and Israel.
