Syria May Get Involved.. Hebrew Channel: Possibilities of Extending the Ceasefire in Lebanon

Translation by SadaNews - The Hebrew channel Reshet Kan reported on Monday evening that it is likely to extend the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon during the negotiation meeting next Thursday.

According to the Hebrew channel, as translated by SadaNews, there is a mechanism in the agreement between the two sides that allows the ceasefire to be extended if there is direct negotiation between the two parties, and the meeting on Thursday could be an example of that.

It noted that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump wishes to achieve a breakthrough in relations.

The land borders are also expected to be discussed, but due to the existence of disputed areas between Syria and Lebanon, such as the Shebaa Farms area, negotiations with Syria are also required.

The channel stated: Israel and Syria held discussions last year on several issues, including direct meetings, so this could lead to renewed dialogue between the two sides.

Washington is set to host the meetings for the second time between Lebanon and Israel, marking the first direct negotiations between the two sides in 43 years.
