Israel and Lebanon reach a peace agreement with United States mediation
Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that, following the agreement reached in Washington, Israeli forces in southern Lebanon will withdraw from two areas, while Hezbollah has rejected the agreement.
Delegations from the Israeli and Lebanese governments reached a peace agreementon Friday in Washington to initiate formal cooperation talks with the United States as mediator.
The agreement has been announced by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has assured us that it will establish "lasting peace and security" in the region, although the head of US diplomacy has warned that it will take "a lot of work and time" for both countries to return to their pre-conflict situation.
As part of this agreement, Israeli PrimeMinister Binyamin Netanyahu has announced that Israeli forces deployed in southern Lebanon will withdrawfrom two areas to be replaced by the Lebanese army.
"The Lebanese Army is organizing to take territory. We are preparing two pilot camps, both on the recommendation of the Israeli Defense Forces," he said in a pre-recorded message, one of which is outside the "security zone" south of the Litani River. The other is located north of that river, within the Israeli-occupied strip.
However, Hezbollah has opposed this agreement, as fighting between the Israeli army and the Shia militia continues unabated; the peace agreement between Iran and the US has failed to stop.
In the last 24 hours, 13 people have died as a result of Israeli attacks. The Health Emergency Operations Centre of LaIbán said in a statement that after nearly four months of conflict, thedeath toll is 4th 243 and the injuries 12,186.
In this context, Hassan Fadlallah, spokesman for the Hezbollah group, has warned the Lebanese authorities that they will not be able to comply with the agreement "unless acivil war begins . "The spokesman for the Shia force has stated that Hezbollah will face any action taken by the Lebanese authorities and will make the opposition" very serious. "
