Israel and Lebanon agreed Wednesday to implement a conditional ceasefire that would require a "complete cessation" of fire by Iran-backed Hezbollah, according to a joint statement issued US-led talks in Washington.
The joint statement said the ceasefire was "contingent on a complete cessation" of fire by Hezbollah as well as evacuation of the group's operatives from southern Lebanon.
Wednesday's talks in Washington were the fourth round of direct talks by Lebanese and Israeli diplomats since fighting erupted on 2 March, when Hezbollah renewed attacks against Israel in support of Iran.
