After Donald Trump’s victory, Israel must propose a ceasefire in Lebanon

After the Republican Party’s Donald Trump is elected president, Israel will suggest a ceasefire in Lebanon. The Israeli government is organizing the proposal. The Israeli government has not set a date to unveil the text.

The plan was discussed on Sunday (10.Nov.2024) between Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the US president-elect’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida. The information is from the Washington Post.

The plan would force Hezbollah to leave the areas it currently controls close to the Israeli-Lebanese border, the US newspaper reported. There were no other details revealed about Trump and Dermer’s conversation. The extremist group would agree to the terms of the deal, according to a Post source.

An unnamed Israeli official told the Post that the ceasefire in Lebanon would be a “gift” from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the Republican. However, for Trump, a ceasefire in Lebanon would be a victory for his foreign policy. President Joe Biden (Democratic Party) has been criticized by opponents for triggering international conflicts throughout his administration due to a foreign position considered weak by the United States under his leadership.

Trump will face external challenges during his administration. The situation in Gaza, Taiwan’s relationship with China, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will be among the Republicans’s main concerns. Trump’s presidency-elect, like his first administration, is expected to maintain a policy of fighting extremist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

According to the WP, Netanyahu and Trump were in constant contact before the Republican’s victory in the November 5 election. Dermer and Jared Kushner, the president-elect’s foreign affairs adviser, also held talks.

Jared Kushner (Former Senior Advisor to the President of the United States) will be a key figure in US relations with the Middle East under the Trump administration. The Republican adviser sought to improve Israel’s ties with the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Bahrain, and Morocco during Trump’s first term.
