Ortagus to carry 'full package' of proposals to Lebanon

U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus will arrive in Beirut next weekend carrying “a package of comprehensive proposals for resolving a number of thorny issues, topped by the files of the displaced Syrians and the Palestinian refugees,” Al-Jadeed TV said.

Ortagus will also discuss “proposals related to reforms, border demarcation, the state’s control of the arms of Hezbollah and the Palestinian camps, the reconstruction file, and Lebanon joining Syria in the peace agreements with Israel,” the TV network added.

“The U.S. proposals will be presented with a firm tone, with a specific deadline for Lebanon to implement what gets agreed on or be held responsible” for the consequences of failure, Al-Jadeed said.
