The Lebanese broadcaster Al-Jadeed claims that negotiations between Israel and Lebanon will also address the return of the remains of Israeli navigator Ron Arad, missing since 1986. The report is unconfirmed by official Israeli or Lebanese sources.
According to the Lebanese broadcaster Al-Jadeed, the ongoing negotiations between Israel and Lebanon will include a discussion on the return of the remains of navigator Ron Arad. Arad has been missing since he was captured during an Israeli Air Force operation over Lebanon in 1986. The report, which cites unnamed sources, has not been confirmed by any official Israeli government or Lebanese military source. The claim surfaces as diplomatic channels between the two countries remain active, though their scope and content have not been officially detailed. The status of IDF navigator Ron Arad has been a long-standing humanitarian issue in Israeli public discourse, with multiple past rounds of indirect negotiations yielding no conclusive results. No official Israeli comment has been issued on the Al-Jadeed report.
