U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy, Thomas Barrack, said that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are ready to invest in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border - aiming to create employment for Hezbollah militants and their supporters on the condition that the organization disarms. Barrack announced this at a press conference held in Lebanon, adding: "40,000 residents receive salaries from Iran to fight, what can be done with them? We need to help them. Gulf states, the U.S. and Lebanon - all will work together to create an economic forum that will generate income for them."
