WASHINGTON, Oct 21 — Israel gave the United States a document last week with its conditions for a diplomatic solution to end the war in Lebanon, Axios reported on Sunday, citing two U.S. officials and two Israeli officials.
Israel has demanded its IDF forces be allowed to engage in “active enforcement” to make sure Hezbollah doesn’t rearm and rebuild its military infrastructure close to the border, Axios reported, citing an Israeli official.
Israel also demanded its air force have freedom of operation in Lebanese air space, the report added.
A U.S. official told Axios it was highly unlikely that Lebanon and the international community would agree to Israel’s conditions.
The White House could not be immediately reached outside regular business hours. The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The embassies of Israel and Lebanon in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
White House special envoy Amos Hochstein is visiting Beirut on Monday to discuss a diplomatic solution to the conflict, the report added. — Reuters

Joo-ish State is behaving like an arrogant rogue because it knows it's teflon-ised due to the Wankees backing it all the way, and in fact, beyond the idiotic Wankees' own interest.
Besides, Satan-Yahoo does NOT want a ceasefire or peace in order to evade facing his own criminal acts and likely imprisonment.
Any ceasefire that continues to permit Hezbollah the agency to fire missiles into Israel willy nilly, requiring Israel to maintain its evacuation of more than 10% of its territory is obviously unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteNo nation state will agree to that.
Mfer, obviously u thought Hezbollah just firing missiles into the Zionist state willy nilly w/o causes!
DeleteWhat an inconsequential fart!
