The Biden-Harris administration is reportedly threatening Israel to accept a 60-day ceasefire in Lebanon, with potential sanctions if Israel refuses. Israel is said to be considering a U.S.-brokered deal that could lead to a ceasefire as early as Tuesday evening, despite concerns about security for northern Israeli communities.
JERUSALEM, Israel — The Biden-Harris administration is said to be threatening Israel into accepting a 60-day ceasefire in Lebanon , lest it allow the United Nations Security Council to impose a ceasefire instead, with sanctions if Israel refuses to comply.
The Lebanese Armed Forces would have 60 days to redeploy throughout that territory, as the Israel Defense Forces withdraws. Israel would retain the right to respond to any attempt by Hezbollah to return to the area again. However, the proposed deal is much better than the one Hezbollah demanded earlier this year, under which Israel would leave Gaza without the hostages, and the IDF would withdraw forces from Israel’s own border near Lebanon.
Israel would certainly prefer to face U.S. pressure to comply with a ceasefire, rather than pressure from the Security Council. And the U.S. would also be likelier than the United Nations to pressure Lebanon and Hezbollah to comply.
