After UNIFIL... Lebanese-Israeli patrols?!

Diplomatic circles fear the US administration has begun implementing a roadmap that would empty south Lebanon of any international force after UNIFIL's mission ends at the end of the year, paving the way for imposing Lebanese-Israeli joint patrols inside the «Yellow Line.» MP Camille Chamoun was quoted as saying that UNIFIL lacked deterrent powers and failed security-wise, and that imposing patrols between the Lebanese Army and Israeli forces is unacceptable before an agreement stipulating Israel's withdrawal from occupied territories after Hezbollah hands over its weapons.
