At the end of another round of talks that concluded on Wednesday between Israeli and Lebanese representatives in Washington, the US State Department said in a joint statement that, as a result of the US led negotiations, “Israel and Lebanon agreed on the implementation of a ceasefire, conditional on a complete halt to Hezbollah fire and the evacuation of all Hezbollah operatives from the area south of the Litani.”

It was further stated that “under US guidance, the two sides agreed to move quickly toward establishing pilot zones in which the Lebanese army will have exclusive control over the area, with no presence of any non-state actor, these steps will enable progress toward a comprehensive agreement for peace and security.”
