The sources – a person briefed on the talks and a senior diplomat working on Lebanon – said the two-month period would be used to finalize full implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted in 2006 to keep southern Lebanon free of arms that do not belong to the Lebanese state.
The person briefed on the talks said one element Israel was still pushing for was the ability to carry out “direct enforcement” of the truce via air strikes or other military operations against Hezbollah if it was violating the deal. The push for a ceasefire for Lebanon comes days before the US presidential election and in parallel with a similar diplomatic drive on Gaza.
