Bayan News – The New York Times, citing sources, has reported growing optimism about a 60-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The American newspaper stated yesterday (November 22) that multiple sources involved in the ongoing talks aimed at establishing a ceasefire have indicated progress in the negotiation process.
According to the report: “It appears that the potential outlines of a ceasefire agreement are taking shape.”
Regional and international sources have noted that key details between Israel and Hezbollah still need to be worked out, and disagreements could derail or delay any agreement. However, they emphasized that hopes for an agreement are higher than ever.
The proposed agreement calls for a 60-day ceasefire during which Israeli forces would withdraw from southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah fighters would pull back north of the Litani River.
Diplomatic sources told The New York Times that Hezbollah has been severely weakened by Israel’s deadly attacks, which has driven the group’s remaining leadership and its Iranian backers to show interest in a deal that could prevent further damage.
It is worth noting that Israeli airstrikes over the past two months have decimated Hezbollah’s leadership, severely weakened its military capabilities, and displaced hundreds of thousands of Lebanese associated with the group.
