The ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hezbollah that the US is pushing begins with a 60-day implementation period, during which time the Lebanese army will deploy along the border and confiscate Hezbollah arms in southern Lebanon, according to a draft agreement published by Kan news.
IDF forces will exit Lebanon within seven days of the end of hostilities and will be replaced by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), with UN peacekeepers facilitating the transition. Ultimately, there will be 10,000 LAF troops along the border with Israel.
At the end of the 60 days, Israel and Lebanon will hold indirect negotiations through the US on fully implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and resolving border disputes.
A new International Monitoring and Enforcement Mechanism (IMEM) will be created, chaired by the US, and include Italy, France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, UNIFIL and regional countries.
Israel “may choose to act against violations” and can respond to threats from Lebanese territory, according to the draft. If Lebanon or IMEM don’t address weapons shipments or production, Israel can strike such targets, after consulting with the US.
Israel can still conduct intelligence flights over Lebanon, but they should not be visible to the naked eye or break the sound barrier.

So what makes anyone think after all these decades that NOW UN Security Council Resolution 1701 will finally be implemented......for real?
I know because Joe Biden wants it so.
Why not just enforce the current cease fire which bars terrorists in the county and forbids any military presence south of the Litani river, about 13 miles north of the border. It's already enforced by the international community, aka UNIFIL. Or not, which is why Israel is enforcing the terms. Related threads
