US reportedly urges timetable and official Hezbollah declaration on arms
The U.S. response to the latest Lebanese paper requested some clarifications as to 'timetables and the executive mechanisms' for resolving the issue of Hezbollah's weapons, media reports said.

Sources informed on the Lebanese response have told MTV that the Lebanese paper 'included a comprehensive agreement that entire Lebanon will commit to, amid optimism that U.S. envoy Tom Barrack will carry a positive response from the Israeli side.'
