Lebanese PM raises ceasefire violations as US reaffirms Israeli withdrawal

“The Israel Protection Forces began right now their withdrawal from Naqoura, many of the western sector, and again into Israel south of the blue line. These withdrawals will proceed till all of the Israeli forces are out of Lebanon utterly and because the Lebanese military continues to deploy into the south and to the Blue Line,” Hochstein stated in a televised assertion.

Hochstein stated the committee overseeing the ceasefire would proceed working over the subsequent 20 days on the Israeli withdrawal and the deployment of the Lebanese military, in cooperation with the United Nations Interim Power in Lebanon.

“I count on to see a lot progress being made within the coming days,” Hochstein stated, including, “Implementation isn’t perceived as shortly as some wished. However what I heard in Naqoura right now offers me hope that we’re heading in the right direction.”

A ceasefire brokered by the US and France took impact on 27 November, 2024, looking for to finish practically 14 months of battle between Israel and Hezbollah.

Underneath the settlement, Israel is to withdraw from Lebanese territory inside 60 days, with the Lebanese military deploying alongside the Lebanese-Israeli border and in southern Lebanon to imagine safety tasks and stop the presence of weapons and militants.
