The Lebanese a monitored channel reports, citing its sources, that the upcoming round of Israel-Lebanon negotiations in Washington (June 23-25) will address the core issues: Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, redeployment of the Lebanese army in evacuated areas, the return of displaced residents to southern villages, and reconstruction — assuming a ceasefire is declared before the talks begin.
Lebanese outlet LBCI reported Wednesday evening, citing its sources, that the upcoming round of Israel-Lebanon negotiations in Washington — scheduled for Tuesday-Thursday, June 23-25 — is expected to address the core unresolved issues. According to the report, the agenda includes Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the redeployment of the Lebanese army in vacated areas, the return of displaced residents to southern villages, and reconstruction efforts. The report conditions this agenda on a ceasefire being declared before the talks begin.
The talks come amid a series of reports on the stalled implementation of the November 2024 ceasefire understandings. As The Zioneer reported on June 13, a fifth round was said to be opening on June 22, and subsequent reports have described U.S. pressure for tangible progress. The specific mention of core substantive issues — beyond procedural matters — marks a potential shift, though the report remains single-sourced through Lebanese media. No Israeli or official confirmation of the agenda has been published.
