Israel says ‘certain progress’ made in Lebanon ceasefire talks

Foreign minister says talks continuing over Israel’s stated objectives of pushing Hezbollah away from Israeli border

Israel’s foreign minister, Gideon Saar, said on Monday that “certain progress” had been made on ceasefire talks in Lebanon, where Israel has been engaged in fighting Hezbollah for more than 13 months.

“We will be ready to be there if we know, first of all, that Hezbollah is not on our border, is north of the Litani River, and that Hezbollah will not be able to arm with new weapons systems,” Saar said.
