Yedioth Ahronoth: Israel Rejects the Principle of 'Unity of Fronts'

Translation by SadaNews - The website of Yedioth Ahronoth reported, just before midnight last night, that according to information held by Israel, the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran stipulates the cessation of "hostilities" on all fronts, including Lebanon.

According to the site, as translated by SadaNews, it ostensibly presents the agreement as a "unification of fronts" by Iran, which has adopted this approach for years under the name "Unity of Fronts".

Based on the site, Israel has confirmed that the agreement will not restrict its forces and will oppose the unification of fronts in any agreement.

The site pointed out that Israel will strongly oppose the withdrawal from the occupied territories in southern Lebanon.

The site quoted a security source as saying that the Israeli army will continue to dismantle Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and is working to dismantle its infrastructure.

According to the site, the issue of withdrawal from Lebanon is not on Israel's agenda.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated on Friday evening that his forces will not withdraw from the security areas they control in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, and will continue their operations there and in other areas.

The site noted that without the signing of the agreement between Iran and the United States, it is impossible to know its impact on negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, while Hezbollah is expected to harden its positions and reject the withdrawal of its members from areas south of the Litani River as stipulated in a previous agreement between Lebanon, Israel, and the United States.

The site speculated that there is a possibility that Iran may prefer Hezbollah's withdrawal from those areas in order to recuperate and prevent the continuation of the war.

The site mentioned, as translated by SadaNews, that if an agreement is reached between Israel and Lebanon, and the Lebanese army takes control of the areas to cleanse them of Hezbollah's infrastructure, Israel would consider withdrawing, but it would be, in any case, a gradual and conditional withdrawal, and such a situation is not expected to occur in the near future.
