The conflict in Lebanon has once again attracted international attention, with reports revealing that former President Donald Trump has given his approval to a ceasefire plan presented by Israeli Foreign Minister Ron Dermer. The proposal, discussed at Mar-a-Lago, aims to establish a truce between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, in an effort to ensure greater security along the border.
According to the Wall Street Journal and reported by Israeli media, the plan calls for the withdrawal of Hezbollah troops and weapons from the Israeli border, particularly in the area north of the Litani River. Responsibilities for maintaining security in the region will fall to the Lebanese army and the United Nations peacekeeping forces.
Trump has expressed hope that this agreement can be implemented before his official inauguration in the Oval Office, scheduled for January 20. This initiative comes at a critical time, as the situation in the region continues to deteriorate.
This morning, new escalations of violence were recorded in the southern suburbs of Beirut. The Israeli army issued an evacuation order to residents of the area, warning that they could be involved in attacks directed against positions associated with Hezbollah. Avichay Adraee, IDF Spokesperson in Arabic, stressed the gravity of the situation. In addition, the Israeli Air Force intercepted two missiles from Lebanon, which were headed towards Israeli territory. This episode demonstrates how tense the situation is along the border and the urgent need for effective diplomatic measures.
The proposed ceasefire represents a significant step towards a possible resolution of the conflict in Lebanon. However, recent developments suggest that the road to peace will be fraught with obstacles. With tensions rising and attacks continuing, the international community is watching closely to see how events unfold in the coming months. Only time will tell whether this plan can truly bring stability or whether it will be just another attempt destined to fail.
