Europeans reportedly try to talk to Hezbollah over possible settlement
Two European countries have requested, through intermediaries, to contact Hezbollah to explore a possible settlement to resolve the current situation, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Wednesday.
"The two countries, via their intelligence chiefs, sent initial messages to the party in recent days requesting a meeting and expressing their readiness to conduct shuttle diplomacy between Lebanon and Israel," the daily said.
"The two countries have not yet received a response due to the complex procedures Hezbollah employs in its communication," al-Akhbar added.
"Western intelligence agencies previously made similar requests, and it was revealed that they had coordinated the move beforehand with the United States, but Hezbollah saw no benefit in meeting with them," the newspaper reported.
