Middle East cease-fire negotiations progress but face hurdles

Cease-fire talks between Israel and Hezbollah progress as U.S. envoy negotiates terms but faces sticking points over self-defense strikes.

Amos Hochstein, a U.S. envoy, extended his visit in Lebanon to meet with local officials, including Speaker Nabih Berri.

He reported progress in negotiations aimed at establishing a cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah.

Hochstein described his recent talks as constructive, noting significant narrowing of gaps between the two sides.

However, key issues remain, including concerns about Israel’s demands for self-defense actions in Lebanon.

Lebanese officials express acceptance of most terms but oppose Israel’s right to strike in response to perceived threats.

Discussions centre on enforcing existing U.N. resolutions, especially Security Council Resolution 1701, which aimed to establish a demilitarized zone post-2006 conflict.

Military infrastructure

The proposal requires Hezbollah to dismantle military infrastructure in southern Lebanon while Israel would withdraw its forces.

The conflict, ignited by Hezbollah’s support for Hamas, has led to significant displacement and intensified military actions from both sides.

Analysts suggest Hezbollah’s weakened position may encourage compliance with a cease-fire agreement.
