What will military delegation discuss in Washington?
A Lebanese military delegation, scheduled to travel to the United States to meet with an Israeli military delegation on May 29, will focus on consolidating the ceasefire in Lebanon so that the army can fulfill its duties.
A media report, published Tuesday in the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper, said the delegation will call for Israel's withdrawal from south Lebanon and request the necessary equipment and technology to support the army's deployment in the south once the truce is secured.
The military delegation will detail the army's achievements in demilitarizing the area south of the Litani River, despite major operational difficulties. It will also outline the army's needs for support from Washington and other donor nations, as well as the challenges stemming from the Israeli occupation of a "buffer zone" in south Lebanon.
