A report Thursday afternoon states that Lebanon intends to demand a binding timetable for the Israeli military's withdrawal from southern Lebanon during upcoming talks in Rome, conditioning further progress in political contacts on the IDF's compliance with the timeline.
According to a single-source report, Lebanon intends to make the demand for a binding IDF withdrawal timetable a central condition in the upcoming Rome talks with Israel. The report, which did not name a specific official, indicates that Beirut views the withdrawal as a prerequisite for continued political progress.
The demand echoes previous positions voiced by Hezbollah and Iran, who have both called for a clear timetable for Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer has reported, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah demanded a pre-agreed timetable on June 24, and Iran's Foreign Ministry made a similar demand on June 28. A US source told Al-Hadath on June 24 that Lebanon was demanding a 'clear and specific timeframe'.
The Rome talks are part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict on the Israel-Lebanon border. The report comes as a single, unverified claim, and it remains unclear whether the demand has been formally communicated to the Israeli side.
