Israel and Lebanon Reach Conditional Ceasefire Agreement Amid U.S.-Led Talks
Following a series of U.S.-mediated negotiations, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire, conditional on Hezbollah ceasing its attacks and withdrawing from areas south of the Litani River. The agreement, announced by the U.S. State Department, includes the establishment of 'pilot zones' where the Lebanese army will have exclusive control, with no presence of non-state actors like Hezbollah. This development is part of ongoing efforts to achieve a comprehensive peace and security agreement. The talks, held in Washington, D.C., involved representatives from both countries and were facilitated by the U.S. government.
