Israel and Lebanon agree to a ceasefire conditional on Hezbollah ceasing attacks
Contacts since 14 April have served to gradually accept and extend the ceasefire, but Israel has broken the truce and intensified its invasion of Lebanon in response to shells fired by Hezbollah, which it believes is opposed to negotiations.
Delegationsfrom Israel go and Lebanonhave been meeting in Washington these days and have risen from the table on condition that the Shiamilitia Hezbollah stop attacks on Israeli territory and cease operations in the south of the Arab country.
UnderUS mediation, they have devised a plan to create "pilot zones" in Lebanon in which the Lebanese army will exercise control, excluding the Islamist group, as detailed in a joint statement.
In addition, both sides have been on the verge of a new round of negotiations in the US capital on June 22.
Yechiel Leiter and Nada Hamadeh, ambassadors of Israel and Lebanon to the US, met this Tuesday and Wednesday at the headquarters of the US State Department in the context of this year's fourth round of peace negotiations, the first of which took place on April 14.
It should be noted that since 1993 there have been no diplomatic relations between Israel and Lebanon and the month of April was one of the highest levels.
So far, contacts have been useful in gradually accepting and extending the ceasefire , but Israel has broken the truce and intensified its invasion of Lebanon, according to reports, in response to shells fired by Hezbollah, which it believes is opposed to negotiations.
The joint statement states that the round concluded this Wednesday has served to establish a ceasefire, provided that "Hezbollah stops its attacks" and "removes all its operations" between the Litani River and the Israeli border.
"With the support of the United States, both sides have agreed to the creation of pilot areas as quickly as possible, in which the Lebanese Armed Forces will have exclusive control, from which all other non-State actors will emerge," they stressed, referring to Hezbollah.
"These measures will make it possible to move towards a comprehensive peace and security agreement," they said, and agreed to resume talks on 22 June "with a view to reaching a comprehensive agreement."
