Israel presented a document to the United States last week outlining its conditions for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict in Lebanon, as reported by Axios on Sunday, referencing two officials from both the US and Israel.
According to an Israeli official, Israel has insisted that its military be permitted to conduct “active enforcement” measures to prevent Hezbollah from rearming and reconstructing its military capabilities near the border. The report also indicated that Israel seeks unrestricted operational freedom for its air force within Lebanese airspace.
A US official expressed skepticism, stating that it is highly improbable that Lebanon and the international community would accept Israel’s stipulations. The White House was unavailable for comment outside of regular business hours, and the US State Department did not respond promptly to inquiries.
Additionally, the embassies of Israel and Lebanon in Washington did not provide immediate comments. White House special envoy Amos Hochstein is scheduled to visit Beirut on Monday to engage in discussions regarding a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
