The United States has asked Israel for two changes to the wording of the Lebanon agreement to ensure its completion, according to an update cited by The Zioneer. The changes include an Israeli withdrawal from a southern Lebanese village currently under IDF control, and a clearer statement that this is part of a broader IDF redeployment process. The demand comes amid ongoing trilateral talks on the Israel-Lebanon framework.
The United States has made two specific demands regarding the wording of the emerging Israel-Lebanon agreement, an update cited by The Zioneer reports. First, Washington requested that Israel withdraw from a village in southern Lebanon currently held by the IDF, as part of the language of the deal. Second, the US asked to add a clear statement framing the process as the beginning of a broader IDF redeployment beyond Lebanese soil.
The report, based on a single source, does not name the specific village or detail the stage of negotiations. It follows a series of US-brokered talks over recent days. As The Zioneer previously reported, over the past week Lebanon demanded a 'clear and specific timeframe' for Israeli withdrawal, while a trilateral framework signed Friday outlined a phased, reciprocal process contingent on Hezbollah disarmament. The Biden administration has previously pressed Israel for partial withdrawal from southern Lebanon. This latest request suggests the diplomatic track continues to focus on sequencing and explicit language around redeployment.
