Israel closer to Lebanon ceasefire ‘than we have been since start of war’: Minister

Firstpost  

Energy Minister Eli Cohen on Thursday said that Israel is closer to a potential agreement with Hezbollah than it has been since the war began, but must retain the ability to take action within Lebanon if any deal is violated, according to a report Smoke billows over Beirut's southern suburbs after an Israeli strike, amid the ongoing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, as seen from Baabda, Lebanon on Thursday. Reuters Energy Minister Eli Cohen on Thursday said that Israel is closer to a potential agreement with Hezbollah than it has been since the war began, but must retain the ability to take action within Lebanon if any deal is violated. A senior Lebanese official on Thursday signalled that Hezbollah was ready to pull its forces away from the Lebanese-Israeli border in any ceasefire but rejected Israel’s demand for freedom to act against the Iran-backed group in Lebanon in the future. Senior Lebanese official Ali Hassan Khalil, speaking to Al Jazeera late on Wednesday, said Lebanon was ready to “precisely” implement U.N. Security Council resolution 1701, which ended a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
