According to information from the Washington Post, an Israeli minister would have contacted Donald Trump, elected 47th president of the United States during the last American presidential election, and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the Republican candidate, to discuss the establishment of a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.
Could a ceasefire agreement emerge between Israel and Lebanon? In any case, this is what the Washington Post suggests, which claims that a minister in Benjamin Netanyahu's government would have contacted Donald Trump, recently elected 47th president of the United States, as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
A meeting which would have taken place while Ron Dermer, the Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, stopped at Mar-a-Lago (Florida) where the billionaire resides, before going to the White House. “There is an agreement that Israel would offer something to Trump…And that in January there will be an agreement on Lebanon,” said an Israeli official, on condition of anonymity, to our colleagues.
If the Washington Post was unable to obtain more details from the office of the Israeli Prime Minister, Trump's spokesperson or that of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, other Israeli officials believe that this agreement predicts Hezbollah fighters to withdraw “beyond the Litani River, on the northern edge of a UN-monitored buffer zone established after the 2006 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.” Et let the Lebanese army take control of the area for 60 days under the supervision of the USA and Great Britain.
Conditions that could suit the Lebanese movement since a source told the Washington Post that the fighters would be ready to withdraw as part of a ceasefire.
A position which does not seem to be the same on the side of the President of the Lebanese Parliament, Nabih Berri. Mr. Berri, an ally of Hezbollah who confided: “Is there a single sane person who believes that we will accept an agreement or a solution that serves the interests of Israel at the expense of the interests and sovereignty of Lebanon?”
In a video broadcast this Sunday, Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that he had already spoken several times with Donald Trump, three times in recent days, talking about “great opportunities ahead for Israel, especially in promoting peace.”
