A senior US official stated that the United States will not demand an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon until a final agreement is signed with Iran and Lebanon — a timeline of at least 60 days and potentially extending beyond the US midterm elections, according to an unverified single-source report.
A senior US official said the United States will not demand an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon until a final agreement is signed with Iran and Lebanon, according to a single unverified source. The timeline was described as a minimum of 60 days, with a possible extension beyond the US midterm elections. The report, attributed to an unnamed American official, has not been corroborated by official Israeli or American channels.
The statement contrasts with earlier unverified reports that Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon and the release of Hezbollah prisoners were being discussed in US-Iran talks, as The Zioneer reported on June 12. The reported timeline aligns with the 60-day framework mentioned in earlier reporting on US-Iran nuclear negotiations, though the connection between the two tracks remains unclear. The source's anonymity and lack of corroboration limit the reliability of this report.
