BEIRUT, Dec 19 - The committee overseeing the Hezbollah-Israel truce in Lebanon focused on Friday on how to return displaced people to their homes, addressing civilian issues to help prevent renewed war if a year-end ‍deadline to ​disarm Hezbollah is not met.

The 15th meeting of the committee reflected ‍a long-standing U.S. push to broaden talks between the sides beyond monitoring the 2024 ceasefire, in line with President Donald Trump's agenda ​of cementing ​peace deals across the volatile Middle East.
