What Israel Must Demand for Security in a Lebanon Ceasefire
(Ynet News) Yossi Yehoshua - Against the backdrop of ceasefire negotiations in Lebanon, the IDF set three conditions for an agreement: The creation of a buffer zone in southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, free of Hizbullah presence and infrastructure; the preservation of full military freedom of action to remove threats, including north of the Litani; and the launch of a long-term process to disarm the organization under a U.S.-supervised mechanism. The IDF must remain inside the territory and must preserve freedom of action against Hizbullah's military buildup, including strikes in Beirut. The threats have not disappeared and will not disappear. The goal is to continue acting so that, like in a relay race, each shift hands off a better reality to the next. That is the definition of victory.
