The Department of State on Wednesday announced that the United States has brokered a major ceasefire breakthrough between Israel and Lebanon.
The agreement was reached during a trilateral meeting held June 2-3 after negotiations began on May 29, officials said.
“As a result of the U.S. led negotiations, Israel and Lebanon agreed to the implementation of a ceasefire,” the department said in a joint statement.
“Israel and Lebanon reaffirmed that they have no hostile intent toward one another and committed to continuing direct negotiations to build confidence, resolve all outstanding issues, and work toward a comprehensive agreement between the two countries.”
Officials said the deal is currently conditional, requiring the Iran-backed, Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah to cease all attacks, withdraw its fighters from southern Lebanon's South Litani Sector, and prevent the re-emergence of non-state armed groups.
As part of the agreement, pilot zones will be established and placed under the exclusive control of the Lebanese Armed Forces to prevent militant groups from operating in the area.
“Hizbollah is not just an enemy of Israel and an enemy of America, but that it is an enemy of Lebanon,” officials said.
Both sides are scheduled to meet again during the week of June 22 to continue negotiations toward a comprehensive peace treaty.
Any permanent agreement to end hostilities must be reached directly between the two governments and brokered by the U.S., the department added.
