Hisbollah warns: Israel threatens to break the ceasefire!

The Lebanese Hisbollah has urged a delayed deduction of the Israeli army from the South Libanon. This deduction is part of a ceasefire agreement that will expire next Sunday. A possible extension could be a break in the agreements made. Hisbollah is responding to reports that Israel has asked the United States for an extension of the deadline of 30 days. According to Radioenneperuhr.de as part of this situation, it has been involved in discussions with Israel, but so far it has against the extension tuned.

The ceasefire, which is initially to apply for 60 days, is monitored by an international group of states under the direction of the United States. This group also has the task of ensuring compliance with the ceasefire, which provides for a withdrawal of the Hezbollah fighters behind the Litani River. The Litani River is about 30 kilometers north of the Israeli-Libanese border, where the Lebanese army has positioned itself with around 5,000 soldiers to control the agreements.

the reactions and the geopolitical location

The reactions to the ceasefire are mixed. US President Biden described her as "good news", while Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu warned the Hisbollah of possible consequences in the event of violations. France's President Macron sees a chance for Lebanon in the ceasefire, and German Foreign Minister Baerbock spoke of a "bright spot for the whole region". Nevertheless, the skepticism in relation to the long -term durability of the ceasefire does not fail. Historically, there are concerns about whether the Lebanese government is able to monitor compliance and control the Hisbollah and other armed groups.

In addition, there are always mutual allegations of violations of the agreement. According to tagesschau.de reported Lebanese government agencies of the ceasefire. Unifil, the UN peacekeeper in Lebanon, has already stationed around 10,000 blue helmets in the country, but also fights with challenges regarding the surveillance of the border area.

background of the conflict

The conflict was triggered in October 2023 by a Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and led to the Hisbollah rocket attacks from Lebanon, whereupon Israel reacted with air raids. So far, according to the Deutschlandfunk over 3,800 dead in Lebanon and 129 dead on the Israeli side. About 800,000 people in Lebanon have already been sold, many of them escaped to Syria. The Lebanon is faced with huge challenges due to these persistent conflicts.

The ceasefire is based on UN-Resolution 1701, the hostility is intended to end the hostility for 60 days, facilitate the return of Lebanese from Syria and enable return to peace and stability. However, it remains to be seen whether this succeeds or whether the conflict flared up again. Experts emphasize the complex interests that the environment determine for everyone involved, above all Iran and his support for the Hisbollah.
