Report: Safa told UAE Hezbollah ready to accept demilitarized zone in south

The head of Hezbollah’s Coordination and Liaison Committee, Wafiq Safa, told Emirati officials during his latest visit to the UAE that his leadership is willing to halt the fighting on Lebanon’s southern front, a media report said.

Hezbollah is also ready to accept a “demilitarized zone” along the Blue Line that would only contain Lebanese Army troops and UNIFIL peacekeepers, an article published in Saudi Arabia’s Asharq al-Awsat newspaper quoted sources close to Hezbollah as saying.

“Following the ceasefire, there should be an agreement on the delineation of the land border, as happened regarding the maritime border,” the sources quoted Safa as telling the Emiratis.
