The US has promised to help Lebanon protect itself from groups like Hezbollah. Along with this, America has also talked about reconstruction of Lebanon and providing humanitarian assistance. President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance are closely monitoring this entire process.

What are the terms of Lebanon and Israel?

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is ready to normalize relations with Israel to end the war and is waiting for the US to set a date. But Lebanon has set some strict conditions which must be fulfilled:

• Israel must immediately stop its attacks on Lebanon.
• Israeli forces will have to retreat from all occupied areas.
• The idea of ​​the so-called ‘buffer zone’ or yellow line will have to be abandoned.
• Lebanese prisoners must be released and the borders must be properly determined.

At the same time, Israel’s main demand is that Hezbollah should be pushed across the Litani River and the organization should be completely disarmed.

What is the stand of Hezbollah and Saudi Arabia?

There has been a split within Lebanon regarding this conversation. Hezbollah and Speaker Nabih Berri are against direct talks. He says that direct talks are useless and there should be a ceasefire and withdrawal of troops first. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is also trying to mediate, but Saudi’s efforts are facing difficulties due to the ongoing political tussle inside Lebanon.

Recently two rounds of meetings were held between the ambassadors of the two countries in Washington DC, after which a brief ceasefire came into effect from April 17. However, even after this, Israel continued attacking many command centers of Hezbollah.
