Report: Lebanon, Israel to agree Israeli withdrawal in exchange for Hezbollah disarmament

Israel and Lebanon are expected to agree on an Israeli military withdrawal from Lebanese territory in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation reported on Friday.

The report stated that the CIA has prepared a plan for disarming the group, and that delegations from Israel and Lebanon are expected to meet on Friday to continue U.S.-sponsored peace talks in Washington.

A U.S. State Department official had described Thursday's talks as "productive and positive" despite pessimistic Lebanese and Arab media reports.
