Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. and negotiations manager with Lebanon, Yehiel Leiter, posted Friday night that Israel remains committed to the ceasefire agreement — and that it will be preserved if Hezbollah does not violate it. The statement follows an earlier message from Lebanon's parliament speaker.
Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yehiel Leiter, who also manages the negotiations track with Lebanon, posted on Friday night that Israel remains committed to the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon and that the agreement will hold if Hezbollah does not violate it. Leiter's statement comes hours after Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri sent a message to President Donald Trump asserting that Hezbollah is committed to a ceasefire — as long as Israel fully complies — as The Zioneer reported Thursday at 22:55. Leiter's post did not specify any new violations or developments, but reiterated the conditional terms Israel has consistently framed: restraint on Israel's part dependent on Hezbollah cessation of attacks. The ambassador's remarks are consistent with his public stance since June 3, when he warned that Hezbollah rocket fire violates ceasefire terms and justified Israeli strikes in Beirut. The exchange reflects ongoing diplomatic signaling through parallel channels as both sides test the ceasefire framework.
