BEIRUT, April 9 (Reuters) – Lebanon has spent the last 24 hours advocating for a temporary ceasefire to allow for broader talks with Israel, a senior Lebanese official told Reuters, saying it would be a “separate track but the same model” as a fragile truce brokered by Pakistan between the U.S. and Iran.
The official said no date or location had been set yet but Lebanon needed the U.S. as a mediator and guarantor of any agreement.
The official spoke to Reuters after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he had instructed the start of direct negotiations with Lebanon “as soon as possible.”
