New York Times: New details about the cease fire agreement between Israel and Lebanon
The New York Times newspaper quoted informed regional and US officials as saying that the outlines of a possible agreement between Israel and Lebanon have begun to crystallize, opening the door to cautious optimism regarding reaching a settlement.
The New York Times said that the details of implementing the settlement regarding Lebanon still need to be agreed upon, noting that the possible agreement includes a 60-day truce during which Israel withdraws from Lebanon, while Hezbollah withdraws to the north of the Litani River.
In the same context, the dismissed Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that he heard of significant progress in the settlement issue with Lebanon, which included the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes.
Galant revealed this in a tweet he posted on X after a meeting with US envoy Amos Hochstein, describing the meeting as successful.
Galant added, “Thanks to the security and military achievements we have made during the period in which I have been in charge of the security apparatus, Israel can, and must, move forward with settlement and return the residents of the north to their homes”.
He considered that this step would greatly weaken Iran and Hezbollah and allow Israel to carry out additional operations to return the kidnapped and complete the objectives of the war in Gaza.
