An announcement of Benjamin Netanyahu’s resignation/removal will count as him ceasing to be Prime Minister as of the time of the announcement, regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect.

The resolution sources for whether Benjamin Netanyahu has ceased to be Prime Minister of Israel will be official information from Benjamin Netanyahu and the government of Israel; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

A diplomatic meeting between Israel and Lebanon will be considered to have taken place if there is a direct or indirect diplomatic meeting between Israel and Lebanon after market creation.

A diplomatic meeting occurs when representatives of both listed countries who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to engage in diplomacy on behalf of their respective governments or governing authorities deliberately meet for the purpose of diplomacy or negotiation. A qualifying meeting need not result in any agreement, joint statement, or further engagement.

A direct meeting refers to a diplomatic meeting where the representatives of both countries directly interact with each other in person. Meetings conducted through translators qualify, provided direct, face-to-face communication occurs. An indirect meeting refers to a meeting conducted indirectly through designated mediators or facilitators. A qualifying indirect meeting must meet both of the following criteria (i) the designated intermediaries act with the knowledge and authorization of both entities; (ii) representatives of both entities are physically present in the same facility, venue, or city as part of a single organized round of talks convened for the purpose of diplomatic engagement, with the intermediary conveying communications between the representatives or delegations on the same day. “The same day” means the same calendar day local time at the meeting location.

Sessions, proceedings, or convenings of standing international organizations, treaty bodies, or recurring multilateral summits or conferences (e.g., the United Nations General Assembly, G7, and G20 summits) do not qualify, unless a qualifying and deliberate diplomatic meeting between representatives of the listed countries separately held alongside such a convening.

The following do not qualify as either a direct or indirect diplomatic meeting: chance encounters; standalone exchanges limited to greetings, courtesies, or photo opportunities; meetings conducted remotely, by telephone, or by any other means where the relevant representatives are not physically present at the same facility, venue, or city on the same day; discussions involving persons not authorized to engage in diplomacy or negotiation on behalf of their respective governments.

The occurrence of a qualifying meeting must be confirmed by the resolution sources by the resolution date.

The resolution sources for whether a diplomatic meeting between Israel and Lebanon has taken place will be official information from the governments of Israel and Lebanon and a consensus of credible reporting.
