British Development Secretary Jenny Chapman called on Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon during a visit to Beirut on Thursday afternoon, according to a report by N12. Chapman stated that the withdrawal is necessary to enable displaced residents to return to their homes. The remarks come amid broader international diplomatic pressure on Israel regarding its military positions in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer has reported, Iranian officials have also conditioned a war-ending deal on Israeli withdrawal from the area, and an array of Israeli and international voices have weighed in on the terms and timeline of any potential pullout. No further details on Chapman's itinerary or whether she met with Lebanese officials were immediately reported.
