US-Brokered Deal Sees Israel Withdraw from Two Southern Lebanon Zones

Israel has agreed to pull its forces back from two areas in southern Lebanon. The sites will be handed over to the Lebanese military under a new agreement reached after four days of US-hosted talks. Lebanon’s envoy in Washington called the deal a first step toward restoring Lebanese sovereignty. Prime Minister Netanyahu said troops will withdraw north and south of the Litani River, leaving positions the IDF no longer needs. US officials described the signing as “the beginning of the beginning” for a broader peace process. The Lebanese Armed Forces will move in under a pilot program in the latest ceasefire framework. All thanks to Iran—before now Israel would never consent to such a deal, but the fear of Iran made it possible.
