Lebanon asked US, France to press Israel to halt truce breaches: Sources [View all]

This is the headline to an article from Al Aribiya dated 12/03/24. There is supposed to be a US backed enforcement mechanism but the establishment of the US and French counterparts in Lebanon has been behind the curve with initial meetings only scheduled to begin later this week. Here is an excerpt for that aspect of monitoring and enforcement:

"A monitoring mechanism chaired by the United States is tasked with monitoring, verifying and helping enforce the truce, but it has yet to begin work.

Berri on Monday urged it to “urgently” ensure Israel halts its breaches, saying Beirut had logged at least 54 Israeli violations of the ceasefire so far."

Further into the article we see a further reference:

"“There is an urgency to finalize the mechanism, otherwise it will be too late,” the source said, referring to Israel’s gradual intensification of strikes despite the truce.

Miller said the monitoring mechanism would begin its work “in the coming days.”

At least 12 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon on Monday, Lebanese authorities said, in the deadliest day since the ceasefire came into effect."
