Trump administration brokers cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon 

The State Department revealed on Wednesday that the US has successfully brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. This development is a significant step towards stabilizing the region and reducing tensions.

“The ceasefire depends on a full halt of Hizbollah attacks and the withdrawal of all Hizbollah members from the South Litani Sector,” stated a joint declaration issued by the US, Lebanon, and Israel. This crucial condition aims to ensure peace and safety in the affected areas.

The statement further mentioned, “Under the guidance of the United States, both nations have agreed to quickly establish pilot zones where the Lebanese Armed Forces will have sole authority, excluding any non-state entities.” This initiative is poised to pave the way for an enduring peace and security framework.

This diplomatic milestone follows two days of intensive negotiations in Washington, marking a hopeful move towards a lasting resolution between Israel and Lebanon.

The breakthrough comes after two days of talks in Washington between Israel and Lebanon. 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio hinted that a deal was coming in testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee earlier Wednesday. 

“As I speak to you now … leaders of the legitimate government of Lebanon and leaders from the government of Israel are seated at the State Department for the second day in a row,” Rubio said.

“And hopefully today will produce a joint statement and an action plan on a track for security in that country, independent from Hezbollah, independent from nefarious influence,” he added.
