Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire
Following talks in the United States, representatives from Israel and Lebanon reached an agreement on implementing a ceasefire. The talks took place in Washington under the auspices of the U.S. side.
It is noted that the meeting between the Israeli and Lebanese delegations took place on June 3 in Washington, where the parties discussed security issues and the stabilization of the situation in the region.
“As a result of the U.S.-led negotiations, Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a ceasefire,” the statement notes.
According to the agreements reached, the ceasefire entails a complete cessation of hostilities by the radical group “Hezbollah,” as well as the withdrawal of all its fighters from territories south of the Litani River.
The statement also emphasizes that Lebanon has committed to strengthening the capabilities of its own armed forces with the support of the United States to ensure effective control over the entire territory of the country.
In addition, during the negotiations, the parties condemned Iran’s aggressive actions toward regional states, emphasizing the need to strengthen security and stability in the Middle East.
The ceasefire agreement was one of the key outcomes of U.S. diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions between Israel and Lebanon and preventing further escalation of the conflict in the region.
This is stated in an official statement from the U.S. State Department.
U.S. President Donald Trump officially confirmed reports that during a recent phone call, he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “crazy” and cursed at him. The main reason for the American leader’s emotional outburst was the latest escalation of Israeli military operations in Lebanon, which threatened to derail Washington’s strategic negotiations with Tehran.
