Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Thursday said his government’s negotiations with Israel were the “fastest and least costly path” for Lebanon, after the talks produced a new cease-fire initiative that was later rejected by Hezbollah. <\/p>\n

The Lebanese-Israeli negotiations led overnight to a U.S.-backed agreement aimed at ending hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, paving the way for the militant group’s disarmament.<\/p>\n

In a statement released by his office, Salam said the negotiations represented the best option available for the people of Lebanon.<\/p>\n

“We could have stood by in the face of a reality and a war that we did not choose, but that was never an option for a single moment,” he said, describing the talks as difficult and the Israeli position as “tough.”<\/p>\n

Under the agreement announced in Washington on Wednesday, Hezbollah militants would be disarmed.<\/p>\n

Salam said the principle of a state monopoly on arms had already been established after the country’s civil war ended in the early 1990s and that Lebanon should not miss another opportunity to enforce it.<\/p>\n

As a next step, he announced the gradual deployment of the Lebanese Army in southern Lebanon, warning that any delay would come at the expense of the region and its residents. <\/p>\n

The Lebanese army said it began removing earth barriers erected by the Israeli military on a central southern Lebanese roadway connecting Dibbin to Marjayoun. The move followed the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

The army also said it is gradually deploying forces in the area in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon and the cease-fire monitoring mechanism.<\/p>\n

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, 10 people were killed and 59 people were wounded in the 24 hours ending at 2:00 P.M. According to a ministry tally, 3,526 people were killed and 10,733 were wounded since the start of hostilities in Lebanon on March 2. <\/p>\n
