Tehran has insisted on a \u2060Lebanon ceasefire as part of its interim deal with Washington, while the United States has sponsored separate talks between the Lebanese \u200band Israeli governments, which Beirut has attended despite Hezbollah&#8217;s objections.<\/div>\n<div>Israel has praised the agreement, signed by the Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors to Washington \u200bon Friday, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying it allows Israeli forces to continue to occupy southern Lebanon if Hezbollah does not disarm.<\/div>\n<div>Hezbollah, which has demanded Beirut quit its face-to-face talks with the Israeli government, has rejected the deal as a surrender to Israel.<\/div>\n<h2>BERRI DISMISSES LEBANON-ISRAEL AGREEMENT AS &#8216;DICTATES&#8217;<\/h2>\n<div>The agreement foresees the Lebanese \u200bmilitary taking control of territory pending the verified disarmament of non-state groups &#8212; a reference to Hezbollah &#8212; saying this would enable the Israeli \u200bmilitary &#8220;to progressively redeploy out of&#8221; Lebanon.
