UPDATE:
The national security cabinet will meet tomorrow to approve a ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, reports The Times of Israe.The text of the ceasefire was finalized today, Channel 12 reports, adding that “something drastic” would have to happen for the ceasefire to fall apart before the meeting tomorrow.
After essentially pacifying Gaza, and now southern Lebanon, in a brutal but highly effective months-long war, Israel is likely to make peace now in Southern Lebanon, according to reports from the area.
After a night of attacks in Beirut and a difficult day for the residents of northern Israel with about 300 launches yesterday, the reports coming out this morning from the two warring sides are very optimistic.
Unless a complete and unexpected surprise happens, a ceasefire agreement should be signed in the next few days, perhaps by the end of the week, reports Israeli journalist Amir Tsarfati.
Until then each side will want to flex its muscles, just as happened yesterday.
Details of the emerging agreement with Lebanon, writes Tsarfati:
– Hezbollah will withdraw its forces to the north of the Litani River, in accordance with UN Resolution 1701.
– The Lebanese army and UNIFIL forces will be deployed in southern Lebanon and will be responsible for enforcing the agreement.
– In the event of any violation of the agreement, Israel retains the freedom to conduct military operations across Lebanon, subject to American approval.
– No security buffer zone will be established.
– Residents of South Lebanon will be permitted to return to their homes and rebuild, even if just a few feet from the border.
Background of the Move:
– The impetus for this agreement stems from the fear that without a deal, the matter would be escalated to the UN Security Council where the Biden administration might not exercise its veto.
Regarding the Agreement:
– The first two points mirror previous agreements that have not been adhered to, casting doubt on their enforcement now.
– However, the clause granting Israel freedom of action is a notable inclusion, albeit with the caveat that Israel must first secure American approval before any military operation. This condition poses a potential challenge, particularly under the current Biden administration, where alignment of interests could differ from what might be expected under a Trump administration, where there might be greater sympathy towards Israel’s position.
