The United States and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding on June 17 putting a 60-day end to hostilities between the parties. The first clause of the memorandum stipulates a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon as well.
Israel and Hezbollah reportedly agreed to halt military operations following a deadly flare-up in Southern Lebanon over the weekend.
Currently, the IDF occupies some 10% of Lebanon to push the Iranian-backed terrorist organization further north from Israeli communities.
Although the U.S.-Iran preliminary agreement calls to keep Lebanon’s territorial integrity, Jerusalem has pledged not to withdraw from Southern Lebanon, stressing the need to maintain a presence in the area as long as Hezbollah continues to threaten Israeli civilians.
