Israel will withdraw immediately after the end of the truce

Al-Sharq Al-Awsat wrote: The level of fears that Israel, in its continued violation of the truce, to lure Hezbollah into entering into a confrontation, will resort to disrupting the session to elect the president of the republic on the ninth of current January, has begun to gradually decrease with the confirmation of the head of the supervisory body to establish the ceasefire, American General Jasper Jeffers. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, in the presence of his country’s ambassador, Lisa Johnson, said that Israel will withdraw immediately after the end of the truce on the 27th of this month, and that the committee will go to the ground to accompany its withdrawal after it has finished. It has completed its logistical preparations, and there is no fear, as parliamentary sources reported to Asharq Al-Awsat, that the situation will return to square one, which would destroy the agreement.

The parliamentary sources pointed out that Hezbollah will not be drawn into a military confrontation with Israel, and will continue to exercise self-restraint to make room for the implementation of the agreement. They revealed that the committee is determined to anticipate the session designated for electing the president by holding a meeting on the seventh of this month, that is, two days before It was held, and she said that the American mediator Amos Hochstein would chair the session, and this is what Berri was informed of by Ambassador Johnson.
She said that the aim of the meeting was to eliminate any pretext that some could use to disrupt the election session, which remains on schedule, and that there is no room for its postponement. She stressed that the visit of French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot to President Berri comes within the framework of Paris’s keenness to provide the atmosphere to stabilize the ceasefire in South, and obliging Israel to withdraw from the towns it still occupies.
She explained that Barrow did not discuss with Berri in detail the election of the president, and merely emphasized the necessity of completing the presidential election on time. She said that he was scheduled to meet with a number of representatives, but he refrained from meeting with them because he had to rush to Damascus.
