A Lebanese source told the Al-Arabiya news channel that an agreement has been reached between Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The claim was not immediately confirmed by Israeli or US officials.
A Lebanese source told Al-Arabiya on Sunday evening that President Joseph Aoun and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio have reached an agreement on a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The claim, if confirmed, would mark a significant breakthrough in the ongoing diplomatic efforts between the US, Lebanon, and Israel.
The report comes hours after Rubio met with Aoun in Beirut earlier Sunday, a meeting the State Department praised for advancing Hezbollah disarmament efforts. The Zioneer reported that meeting at 19:13 Jerusalem time as part of the ongoing thread.
The assertion of a full withdrawal agreement has not been independently verified. Israeli officials have not commented, and the US State Department has not issued a statement beyond the earlier meeting readout. The claim is the latest in a series of reports on the status of a potential withdrawal deal, with earlier unconfirmed reports from Iranian media on June 15 also claiming a full withdrawal had been agreed upon.
