The‌ management ⁢of US President Joe Biden played a key role in reaching an agreement between israel and ‍hezbollah. Experts note ⁤that the American ‌side acted as‍ the main mediator, actively facilitating the establishment of agreements, despite the difficulties of the negotiation⁤ process. According to analyst Ilya Aizenstat, the United​ States has‍ made more efforts than Israel to push this ⁣agreement forward. He believes the Biden administration,often criticized for its soft policies,is seeking to end its term on a positive note,demonstrating success in international diplomacy.

What does ‌the agreement⁢ include?

The agreements reached involve the ‍cessation of attacks ⁤by ‍Hezbollah and other terrorist groups in⁢ Lebanon. In return,⁤ Israel undertakes to refrain from military action, including ⁤ground, air and sea operations. The parties also agreed to comply with the provisions of UN Resolution⁢ No.1701, adopted after the Second lebanon War. This document establishes the right to self-defense ⁣in accordance with ‌international law.

Particular attention‍ is paid to the elimination of military infrastructure that violates the terms of the agreement. All ⁤illegal weapons must be confiscated, and⁢ only​ the country’s official armed forces are allowed to be stationed in southern lebanon. A joint commitee⁣ will be‍ created to monitor the implementation of the⁢ agreement, which will also⁣ interact with UNIFIL peacekeepers.

Israel, ⁤in turn, ‍will⁢ gradually ‌withdraw its forces ⁢from southern⁢ Lebanon beyond the Blue Line demarcation, which should be completed within 60 days.

Difficulties of negotiations

According‌ to Aizenstat,the main difficulty was achieving mutual understanding between ⁣the parties,but the United ‌States ​and France actively contributed to ⁤the ⁣negotiation‌ process. The American side also intends to facilitate the establishment of official land ⁣borders between Israel⁣ and Lebanon.

Prospects for the region

The expert​ draws ⁤attention to the importance of the economic‍ approach to conflict resolution in the⁢ Middle east. In past years, with the support of ​the Donald Trump​ administration, Israel ​managed to conclude peace‍ treaties​ with a ⁣number ‍of Arab ‍Gulf countries. Aizenstat is ​confident that economic cooperation can resolve many issues that previously ​split the⁣ region.

Threats from Iran

Aizenstat also‌ emphasizes the role of Iran as‍ the main destabilizing force. He notes that Israel ⁣may not be⁢ able to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat on its own. In his opinion, the ⁣Trump administration, if returned to power, may choose‍ a military solution to the ⁤problem. The expert recalls that Trump’s previous tenure was marked by tough measures, including the liquidation of Iranian‌ general Qassem ‍Soleimani.

Results

The⁢ agreement reached between Israel and ‍Hezbollah opens up new opportunities ⁢for stabilizing ⁢the ⁣region. Though, its implementation will require meaningful ‍efforts from both sides and the international ​community. The US role in this ‍process underscores its desire to strengthen⁢ its position as a key mediator in the Middle‌ East.

How might the Israel-Hezbollah agreement affect the balance of power in the Middle East?

Interview with Ilya Aizenstat: ⁣Analyzing the Recent‌ Agreement between Israel and Hezbollah

Editor, Time.news: Today, ​we have Ilya ⁢Aizenstat, a renowned analyst in⁢ international relations, to discuss the⁣ recent ⁣agreement brokered by the Biden governance between Israel and ⁣Hezbollah. Thank ⁤you ‌for joining us, Ilya.

Ilya Aizenstat: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to discuss this crucial development.

Editor: let’s start with the main highlights of the agreement. Can you explain⁤ what ⁣this⁣ new agreement entails?

Ilya aizenstat: certainly. ⁣The agreement focuses on the ‌cessation ⁣of attacks by Hezbollah and other militant‌ groups ​in Lebanon. In exchange, Israel has committed to refraining from ‌military actions, encompassing ground, air, and naval operations.Both parties ⁤have also agreed‍ to adhere to the⁣ principles set⁢ forth in UN Resolution No.1701, which allows for‍ self-defense while advocating for peace in the region. Furthermore, a‌ joint committee will oversee the enforcement ⁤of this agreement, alongside‍ UNIFIL peacekeepers, ensuring ⁢that illegal military infrastructures are dismantled and only authorized armed ⁢forces operate in southern Lebanon.

Editor: It sounds like ‍a robust framework for monitoring and accountability. What were the ⁢primary challenges faced during these negotiations?

Ilya ⁣Aizenstat: One meaningful challenge ⁢was achieving mutual understanding between⁣ the parties⁣ involved.‍ Both ⁢sides harbor deep-rooted mistrust, which the United States and France worked to bridge. The US ‌acted as the⁤ key mediator and not ‍only navigated the complexities of the negotiation process‌ but also aims ‍to establish‍ official borders between Israel and Lebanon moving forward.

Editor: Given the‌ longstanding tensions in the region, what do you⁣ see as the prospects for long-term stability?

Ilya Aizenstat: Stability hinges ‌on a comprehensive approach, and I believe that economic cooperation can play a pivotal role. The previous successes in establishing peace treaties between Israel and several Arab​ Gulf nations during trump’s administration show ‍that economic collaboration can address longstanding‌ conflicts. The more stakeholders prioritize economic partnerships, the ⁢greater the ‍potential to resolve issues that have historically divided the region.

Editor: You mentioned Iran as a destabilizing factor in your earlier assessments. Can you elaborate on that concern?

Ilya Aizenstat: Absolutely. Iran remains a significant threat, particularly with its nuclear ‌ambitions. Israel may struggle⁣ to confront Iran’s influence alone. If the Trump administration returns to power, they ⁤might ‍pursue a ​more aggressive military stance, similar to past measures that included the targeted elimination of figures like​ Qassem soleimani. This‍ underscores the complexity ⁢of managing‍ regional threats while adhering ⁤to ⁣diplomatic⁢ agreements like the one between⁣ Israel and Hezbollah.

Editor: Looking‍ ahead, what do​ you think the implications of ⁣this agreement will be for US foreign policy in the Middle East?

Ilya Aizenstat: The prosperous brokering of ⁣this agreement demonstrates the Biden administration’s intent to amplify its role as a mediator in Middle Eastern affairs. By navigating ⁤complex negotiations and⁣ facilitating‍ dialogue, the US ​aims to reshape its image and leave a legacy of diplomatic success​ before the end of its term. However,the implementation⁢ of this agreement will require genuine ⁣commitment from both Israel and Hezbollah,as well as support from the international community.

Editor: As we conclude, what practical advice would⁣ you give to our readers regarding ‌these​ developments?

Ilya Aizenstat: I encourage readers to follow the progress‍ of ​this agreement closely‌ and to understand that ⁣real change ⁢takes time.The ⁣international community must remain engaged, and economic avenues should be pursued to promote ⁣cooperation across the region. ⁤Active participation in discussions about peace and ‍stability can pave​ the way for‍ a more ⁣hopeful‌ future in the Middle East.

Editor: thank you, Ilya, for your insights ​on this critical issue. It’s been enlightening to hear your‌ outlook.

Ilya Aizenstat: Thank you for the ​opportunity. It’s essential that we‍ continue‍ to engage in dialogue about‍ these developments⁢ as ‌they unfold.
