NATO military leaders expected to meet on Wednesday to discuss Ukraine, sources say
Aug 19 (Reuters) - NATO military leaders are expected to meet on Wednesday to discuss Ukraine and the way forward, a U.S. official and NATO official told Reuters on Tuesday. The U.S. official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was expected to attend the meeting virtually, but plans could still change. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Chair of NATO's Military Committee has convened what the NATO source described as a regular meeting at the level of chiefs of defense. A different NATO official said the alliance's top military commander Alexus Grynkewich would brief the chiefs of defense on the results of the Alaska meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.

US envoy to discuss Israel ceasefire as Lebanon commits to disarming Hezbollah
Tom Barrack, following a meeting with Lebanese president Joseph Aoun, also said Washington would seek an economic proposal for post-war reconstruction in the country, after months of shuttle diplomacy between the US and Lebanon. Mr Barrack is also set to meet with prime minister Nawaf Salam and speaker Nabih Berri, who often negotiates on behalf of Hezbollah with Washington. 'I think the Lebanese government has done their part. They've taken the first step,' said Mr Barrack, who is also the US ambassador to Turkey. 'Now what we need is for Israel to comply with that equal handshake.' Lebanon's decision last week to support a plan to disarm Hezbollah angered the Iran-backed group and its allies, who believe Israel's military should first withdraw from the five hilltops it has occupied in southern Lebanon since the end of its 14-month war with Hezbollah last November and stop launching almost daily airstrikes in the country. Naim Kassem, Hezbollah's secretary-general, has vowed to fight efforts to disarm the group, sowing fears of civil unrest in the country. Mr Barrack warned Hezbollah that it will have 'missed an opportunity' if it does not back the calls for it to disarm. Mr Aoun and Mr Salam both want to disarm Hezbollah and other non-state armed groups, and have demanded Israel halt its attacks and withdraw from the country. Mr Aoun said he wants to increase funding for Lebanon's cash-strapped military to bolster its capacity. He also wants to raise money from international donors to help rebuild the country. The World Bank estimates that Hezbollah and Israel's months-long war in late 2024 cost 11.1 billion dollars in damages and economic losses as larges swaths of southern and eastern Lebanon were battered. The country has also faced a crippling economic crisis since 2019.
