PAGE PREVIEW

A. A Written Agreement to Fight a Limited War

On April 26, 1996, Secretary of State Christopher, standing alongside Prime Minister Peres in Jerusalem, announced the achievement of the written but unsigned Agreement.  Prime Minister Hariri stood with Foreign Minister de Charrette as he simultaneously made the same announcement in Beirut. 

The announcement read as follows: 
The United States understands that after discussions with the Governments of Israel and Lebanon, and in consultation with Syria, Lebanon and Israel will insure the following: 
1)    Armed groups in Lebanon will not carry out attacks by Katyusha rockets or by any kind of weapon into Israel.
2)    Israel and those cooperating with it will not fire any kind of weapon at civilians or civilian targets in Lebanon.
3)    Beyond this, the two parties commit to insuring that under no circumstances will civilians be the target of attack and that civilian populated areas and industrial and electrical installations will not be used as launching grounds for attacks.
4)    Without violating this understanding, nothing herein shall preclude any party from exercising the right of self-defense.
A Monitoring Group is established consisting of the United States, France, Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Its task will be to monitor the application of the understanding stated above. Complaints will be submitted to the Monitoring Group. In the event of a claimed violation of the understanding, the party submitting the complaint will do so within 24 hours. Procedures for dealing with the complaints will be set by the Monitoring Group.
