00:06This would require a complete cessation of fire by Iran-backed Hezbollah,
00:11according to a joint statement issued following U.S.-led talks in Washington.

00:22will take exclusive control of the territory to the exclusion of all non-state actors.
00:27The two parties agreed to reconvening political and security drafts the week of June 22.
00:33With a view towards reaching a comprehensive agreement,
00:37the United States agreed to continue to facilitate communication between the two parties in the interim.
00:42The ceasefire comes as Israel has recently escalated its attacks
00:46and is staging its deepest ground offensive into Lebanon in two decades.

00:56grants the military the freedom to strike Beirut if Hezbollah attacks Israeli communities,
01:01adding that operations in southern Lebanon would continue.

01:10and those on the war with Iran.

01:18would trigger a full-scale resumption of war.
