ATFL President Ed Gabriel quoted in Middle East Eye.
❝ “South of the Litani [River], they are making a lot of progress…They are now beginning to focus on their planning for the north,” Ed Gabriel, who heads the Washington-based non-profit, the American Task Force on Lebanon, said in a press briefing on Wednesday, following a trip to the region where he met US and Arab officials… “Would that [disarmament announcement] encourage Israel to realise that things are moving forward and they need to engage with the Lebanese?” Gabriel said, adding that, “We are hoping that the US would verify” any Lebanese claim. ❞
