As the Israeli army continues its massive attacks on Lebanon, Hezbollah is showing a willingness to negotiate. A new American draft ceasefire is seen as the basis. But there is still a need for discussion for Hezbollah, it said.
To advance negotiations, US special envoy Amos Hochstein will travel to Beirut for talks on Tuesday. A media portal quoted a Lebanese MP.
The US government’s proposal calls for the Israeli military and Hezbollah to initially suspend their attacks for 60 days. The army must leave Lebanon and the Lebanese forces must be stationed at the border. After the 60 days have passed, negotiations will follow on the full implementation of UN Resolution 1701. The aim is to put an end to the fighting in the Lebanese-Israeli border area.
“A few more comments”
According to media reports, Hezbollah has already sent some comments on the US draft ceasefire to Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. These would not stand in the way of a ceasefire, an insider said. However, a committee monitoring the ceasefire should not be expanded, possibly to Germany or Great Britain. “For example, if a Hezbollah facility appears, who will eliminate it? The Lebanese side wants the (Lebanese) army to deal with it,” the insider said.
Missile attack on Tel Aviv
Meanwhile, five people were injured, one seriously, in a rocket attack by the Hezbollah militia in the Tel Aviv area on Monday evening. They were taken to hospitals. A major fire broke out in a suburb. The army reported that a rocket had been fired from Lebanon. Shortly before, the Israeli army had again bombed the Lebanese capital Beirut.
Ground battles are currently taking place in southern Lebanon, among other places. Hezbollah said its fighters attacked Israeli soldiers in Chiyam four times on Monday morning alone. The day before, the militia reported at least seven attacks on Israeli forces in the same area.
