As airstrikes in Lebanon intensify, diplomatic efforts to negotiate a ceasefire have entered a critical phase. U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Lisa Johnson has presented Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri with a proposal widely seen as pivotal to halting the hostilities. The proposal, accepted by Israel, outlines key terms that must be met before a ceasefire can take effect.
According to details obtained by Nidaa Al-Watan, the proposal includes the establishment of a monitoring committee for the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war. The committee would be led by an American general with a French general as a member.
The document also emphasizes Israel's non-negotiable right to take action if the committee fails to address violations. Moreover, it calls for the total dismantling of Hezbollah’s military infrastructure both south and north of the Litani River, a stipulation Israeli officials have also declared non-negotiable.
