🔸 ISRAEL, LEBANON AND U.S.-BACKED FRAMEWORK AS IDF QUESTIONS IMPLEMENTATION

🔸 ISRAEL, LEBANON U.S.-BACKED FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT: Israel and Lebanon have signed a U.S.-backed trilateral framework agreement committing to the verified disarmament of Hezbollah and the progressive redeployment of Israeli forces, with the Lebanese Army assuming full security responsibility in agreed pilot zones, according to the full text released by the State Department.

Two initial pilot zones in southern Lebanon have been agreed upon where the Lebanese Armed Forces will assume "full and effective security responsibility," enabling the return of displaced residents, internationally supported reconstruction, and the creation of future zones.

Israeli forces will withdraw only after the Lebanese military verifiably disarms non-state armed groups and dismantles their infrastructure.

Israel declared it "has no territorial ambitions in Lebanon" and that the elimination of the Hezbollah threat "will eliminate any future need for IDF military action or presence."

Both countries affirmed the right to self-defense and will establish a military coordination group with U.S. participation to ensure implementation.

Lebanon reaffirmed its "irreversible commitment" to restoring full sovereignty, the state's monopoly on force, and the complete disarmament of all non-state armed groups. It also committed to preventing reconstruction funds from flowing to Hezbollah or connected entities.

Any new U.S. assistance will be strictly conditioned on verifiable milestones.

The agreement declares the intent to "conclusively end the conflict" and formally conclude any state of war between the two countries.

Both governments will immediately establish working groups to draft a full comprehensive peace and security agreement, with the U.S. rallying international partners for Lebanon's reconstruction.

⚠️ IDF QUESTIONS IMPLEMENTATION AND HAS RECEIVED NO WITHDRAWAL ORDERS: According to Channel 13, the Israeli army welcomes the agreement with Lebanon but considers it impractical in terms of implementation.

The main concern is that the agreement restricts Israel to remaining inside Lebanon indefinitely until Hezbollah is disarmed, something the army believes will not happen.

Military sources, reported that the Israeli military has "not yet received any orders" to withdraw from any area inside Lebanon.

Planning continues despite the current operational status, with defense officials identifying three southern villages for future pullbacks: Frun, Al-Ghandouriya, and Western Zoutar.

🛰️ U.S. STUDIES CEASEFIRE MONITORING MECHANISM: The U.S. administration is studying the creation of a "mechanism to monitor the ceasefire" in Lebanon, mirroring oversight frameworks previously implemented in Gaza.
