Israel, Lebanon reach agreement on implementation of ceasefire
Israel and Lebanon have reached an agreement on the implementation of a ceasefire, according to a joint statement from the two countries and the U.S.
This comes after two days of negotiations in Washington.
The ceasefire is contingent on a "complete cessation" of Hezbollah fire and the evacuation of all its operatives from the South Litani Sector, according to the statement.
"The two sides agreed with the guidance of the United States to swiftly advance the creation of pilot zones in which the Lebanese Armed Forces will take exclusive control of the territory to the exclusion of all non-state actors," the statement said. "These steps will enable progress towards a comprehensive peace and security agreement."
Israel and Lebanon agreed to reconvene the week of June 22 "with a view toward reaching a comprehensive agreement," the statement said.
