Biden touts Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire deal

Politico  

Under the deal outlined by the president, the Lebanese army will take control of their own territory in the south, Hezbollah infrastructure will not be allowed to be rebuilt and Israel forces will withdraw over the next 60 days. Biden added that the United States, along with “Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Israel and others” would take on a renewed push to get a ceasefire deal in that region of the Middle East through the remainder of his presidency. A senior administration official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations, said Tuesday that the Lebanon cease-fire may make Hamas more likely to sign an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip. “I think the realization when they now watch the news and realize that Hezbollah has decided to abandon them and de-link the two conflicts, there’s no one coming for their support anymore, I think that’s a powerful change of reality on the ground,” said a second administration official, who spoke on the same condition of anonymity. “We have to see if they are, if that’s enough to be able to make a change in the posture on the negotiations.” Both officials added that normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel, a longtime Biden administration foreign policy goal, could receive renewed attention if more progress is made toward a cease-fire in Gaza.
