BEIRUT (AP) — Saudi Arabia and Qatar are ready to invest in an economic zone in south Lebanon near the border with Israel that would create jobs for members of the militant Hezbollah group and its supporters once they lay down their weapons, President Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East said Tuesday.

Lebanon will come up with a plan on August 31 to convince Hezbollah to disarm, U.S. Special Envoy for Syria and Lebanon Thomas Barrack said on Tuesday. Israel will give a counterproposal when it receives Lebanon's plan,

Tom Barrack says Beirut will set out plan on August 31; Hezbollah has rejected it as Israel continues attacks.
