Mixed feelings in Lebanon as anticipation of a ceasefire builds

Al Jazeera  

Anticipation of further Israeli strikes and hopes for a ceasefire compete for hearts and minds in Lebanon. Beirut, Lebanon – The United States’s special envoy for the Middle East, Amos Hochstein, has landed in the Lebanese capital to hold talks around a potential ceasefire deal between Hezbollah and Israel. Lebanon’s response to the US proposal was positive, Mikati said, adding that “some points need discussion” but “we hope to reach a ceasefire in Lebanon as soon as possible”. Moreover, the Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri is running the negotiations alone without going back and discussing it with the MPS that we elected, which makes it very obvious that something suspicious is happening.” The terms of the ceasefire are not publicly available to prove or disprove Eido’s suspicions, but a prior paper circulated by media showed that Israel was demanding a blanket “US agreement” that it could act unilaterally against Hezbollah in Lebanon whenever it saw fit. In recent days, Lebanese officials gave the impression that both parties are in agreement on most clauses, including Israel’s full withdrawal south of the Blue Line – a demarcation line dividing Lebanon from Israel and the occupied Golan Heights – and Hezbollah pulling back north of the Litani River as the Lebanese army deploys to fill the space between the two lines.
