Journalist Amit Sehgal shared new details about the ceasefire negotiations in Lebanon. According to him, the main disagreements concern France’s role in the settlement process and the conditions of negotiations on controversial issues.
Segal noted that Israel is categorically against France’s participation in the agreement and in the international committee that will oversee its implementation. This decision is due to the harsh anti-Israel position that, according to Israel, is demonstrated by Emmanuel Macron’s administration.
Additionally, Israel is pushing to include language that would allow it to decide for itself whether to enter into negotiations on disputed border issues.
The Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov” writes that Lebanon is closely following the results of the negotiations between the American envoy Amos Hochstein and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hochstein met with Netanyahu, as well as ministers Ron Dermer and Israel Katz, but no concrete results were announced and the envoy returned to Washington.
Diplomatic sources confirm important progress in the negotiations, although it still takes time to reach a final agreement. Lebanon, they say, is feeling strong pressure from the United States on Israel for an early ceasefire.
The Lebanese side, in comments to Hochstein, emphasized that the country’s sovereignty must be fully preserved and a ceasefire must be implemented immediately. Hochstein’s meetings with Defense Minister Israel Katz and Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi are seen as a positive step in the negotiations.
