Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a new ceasefire, following a round of talks brokered by the United States, the US State Department announced, following negotiations that lasted about nine hours.
Under the agreement, the ceasefire will only take effect if Hezbollah completely ceases fire and its fighters withdraw from southern Lebanon. This point is considered crucial by Israel, which has demanded Hezbollah's disarmament and the destruction of its military infrastructure.
The agreement comes at a time of high tensions on the border between the two countries, where an existing ceasefire has been violated several times in recent months with mutual attacks. The Israeli government had previously warned of an escalation of military operations in Lebanon.
One of the main points of agreement is the creation of pilot zones in southern Lebanon, where control of the territory will be transferred exclusively to the Lebanese Armed Forces. The plan aims to exclude any armed groups outside state structures, but there is still no clear deadline for its implementation.
The parties have agreed to resume political and security talks during the week of June 22, with the aim of reaching a broader and more lasting agreement. The US is expected to continue its role as a mediator and facilitate communication between Israel and Lebanon.
For its part, Lebanon has called for respect for international borders, full implementation of the ceasefire, and strengthening of state sovereignty throughout its territory. The United States has pledged to support the Lebanese Armed Forces in increasing their capacity and effective control in the country.
In the joint statement, the parties also condemned Iran's actions in the region and its support for armed groups, which they said undermine stability in the Middle East.
