🇨🇭🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel may want Switzerland to oversee the Lebanon deal.
Swiss government is emerging as a leading candidate to provide the foreign force monitoring implementation of the U.S.-backed Israel-Lebanon agreement.
They have met counterparts in Jerusalem and Washington since February. Switzerland has strong ties with Lebanon, good relations with Israel, and a reputation for neutrality, making it one of the few countries both sides may accept.
The idea comes after the latest Rome talks, where Israel said no expansion of the current pilot zones would happen until their performance is assessed.
Let's see if that holds.
Interesting choice, though. Switzerland’s reputation for staying out of big-power fights makes it a pragmatic pick for a sensitive monitoring role in southern Lebanon.
As talks continue, Israel looks for a credible 3rd party that Hezbollah and the Lebanese government might actually tolerate.
