Mediators Qatar and Pakistan announced Monday morning the establishment of a de-confliction cell to prevent friction and end military activity in Lebanon. The announcement came shortly after marathon US-Iran talks in Qatar—reportedly lasting 18 hours—concluded with an agreement on the mechanism overnight.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, the extended diplomatic round in Doha produced a framework that includes a 'supreme conference' for political mediation and the de-confliction cell for Lebanon. Israel is not a party to the mechanism, according to earlier reports.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier Monday described the mediation as yielding 'significant progress' toward ending the war in Lebanon, listing achievements including the lifting of export restrictions and launch of a reconstruction program. The mediators' joint statement is expected to provide further operational details.
