Lebanon submits response to French proposal to end border hostilities

Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry has submitted an official response to the French proposal made last month to end hostilities along the Lebanese-Israeli border, according to local media.

The reports said the Lebanese response included a general framework in which Lebanon expressed its readiness to immediately implement UN Resolution 1701 “on the condition that Israel commits to implementing its provisions”. The resolution calls for a complete end to hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.

The reports also said Lebanon expressed its readiness to resume the meetings with the UN and Israel in the southern Lebanese city of Naqoura.

However, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said last month that his group’s cross-border shelling into Israel would only end when Israel’s “aggression” on the Gaza Strip stops, saying diplomatic efforts to bring a halt to hostilities along Lebanon’s border have so far seemed to benefit only Israel.
