| Hezbollah is not opposed to a diplomatic solution to liberate the Shebaa Farms occupied by Israel in the 1967, a Lebanese daily claims. The Lebanese daily al-Hayat reported that a Hezbollah representative had told French President Nicholas Sarkozy that the movement would accept a diplomatic solution to return the Shebaa Farms to the country. According to the report, Hezbollah MP Mohamed Raad had voiced its support for a diplomatic solution to the dispute during a meeting with Sarkozy. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who was in Beirut for talks with Lebanese officials, also hinted that a solution for the issue is on the horizon. The French president is reportedly planning to bring forward an initiative to put the territory under the control of the United Nations. According to the plan, the land would reportedly be demarked and returned to Lebanon at later stages. |
