The Prime Minister has convened a security discussion tonight (Sunday) to approve Israeli withdrawals from certain points in southern Lebanon, in accordance with the agreement signed with the Lebanese government, according to a report. The discussion follows the narrow security cabinet session earlier this evening.
The Prime Minister convened a security discussion tonight (Sunday, 21:03 Jerusalem) to approve Israeli withdrawals from additional points in southern Lebanon, according to a report. The session comes minutes after the narrow security cabinet meeting (20:59 Jerusalem) on Lebanon, at which the IDF was reported to be preparing to hand over two pilot areas.
The Zioneer reported on Sunday at 20:51 Jerusalem that the same cabinet was meeting on Lebanon, citing ynet, with the IDF ready to hand over two pilot areas. Earlier today, the narrow security cabinet had already convened on the matter (20:51 Jerusalem). On June 28, The Zioneer reported that the IDF had begun a pilot withdrawal from designated zones in southern Lebanon — a precedent ahead of tonight’s approvals.
The agreement with the Lebanese government has been a central topic of Israeli security deliberations in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 27, a security source said Israeli authorities were preparing for possible escalation on the northern front following the Lebanon deal.
The exact number of withdrawal points and a timetable remain unverified at this hour.
