Israel wants Russia to participate in peace efforts aimed at ending the conflict with Hezbollah. Israeli media have even claimed that Israeli officials are optimistic about Russia’s active role in this discussion.
According to Israeli media reports, Netanyahu’s government believes that Moscow’s involvement could stabilize future peace deals and reduce dependence on the United States.
Citing a reliable source, the Israeli media RT said, “Russian government officials will play a special role in implementing the peace agreement with Hezbollah and preventing the situation in Lebanon from getting worse.”
In this regard, former Israeli official Orna Mizrahi said in an interview with Newsweek, “Israel always gives priority to the United States in all fields. But you have to keep in mind that Russia has ‘good relations’ with Iran. Which can play an important role in making a stable agreement with Lebanon in the future.
He also said, “Russia is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and if we want to reach a new ceasefire proposal, we want Russia to approve it”According to Israeli media reports, talks on a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon have already reached an advanced stage.
US President Joe Biden’s envoy Amos Hockstein, who is leading mediation efforts between Israel and Lebanon, reportedly reached a preliminary agreement during a visit to Beirut this week.
