White House: Leaked Lebanon proposal ‘doesn’t reflect current state of negotiations’

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

The White House says in a statement that a leaked draft of the US ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hezbollah published earlier this evening on the Kan public broadcaster “doesn’t reflect the current state of negotiations.”

The proposal aired on Kan envisions a 60-day implementation period, during which time the Lebanese army will deploy along the border and confiscate Hezbollah arms in southern Lebanon.

IDF forces will be out of Lebanon within seven days of the end of hostilities, and will be replaced by the LAF, with UN peacekeepers facilitating the transition. Ultimately, there will be 10,000 LAF troops along the border with Israel.
