Isreal is talking about conditions for a ceasefire.
Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Tuesday Israel would be ready to call a ceasefire with Hezbollah if its captured soldiers are returned, the Lebanese army deploys along the countries’ shared border and the future disarmament of Hezbollah can be guaranteed.
After a week of fighting, Ms. Livni said the time for diplomacy was at hand, though she added that Israel’s military operations would not end until its goals are reached.
The conditions demanded would be very hard for Lebanon to implement. The country is really split into two sections controlled by two different groups, from what I can tell. I don’t know how realistic it is to think that the Lebanese Army can secure the border with Isreal. Hezbollah has a lot of political power and popular support.
What do you think? What are the options for both sides in this conflict?
