Waffenruhe in sight? Lebanon hopes for peace before the US election!
In a dramatic turning point in the Middle East, there may be a ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese Hisbollah. The executive Prime Minister of Lebanon, Nadschib Mikati, expressed the hope of an agreement "within days" and confirmed that the US envoy Amos Hochststein is expected to talks in Israel. These conversations could be crucial for a ceasefire, while the conflict between Israel and the Hisbollah continues to escalate. At night, attacks from Lebanon were reported again, with the Israeli army carried out air strikes on destinations in Baalbek, which demanded at least 19 fatalities.
The United States does everything possible to achieve an ceasefire in front of the upcoming presidential elections, since the Situation in the Middle East is a central topic in the election campaign. Mikati called the implementation of the UN Resolution 1701 and the stationing of the Lebanese army in the south as conditions for a ceasefire. A US proposal stipulates that Israeli troops leave Lebanon within seven days of an agreement, while 10,000 Lebanese soldiers are to be stationed at the border. The negotiations are under pressure to find a solution before the elections take place on November 5, and the eyes of the world are directed to developments. as reported . .
