The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the Pentagon is preparing to deploy US ground forces to Lebanon. According to the report, the move is intended to implement the recent US-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel, which requires Hezbollah to disarm. The report cites unnamed defense officials but provides no specific details on troop numbers, timelines, or operational scope. The report emerges amid a broader US diplomatic push on Lebanon. As The Zioneer has reported, Washington has recently imposed sanctions on Lebanese officials allied with Hezbollah, urged the group's disarmament, and endorsed the Israeli position conditioning withdrawal from Lebanese territory on Hezbollah's disarmament. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also stated Wednesday that the US would help Lebanon 'take control' of its territory to operate against Hezbollah. The claim of a planned ground deployment has not been independently corroborated, and no official confirmation from the Pentagon, the State Department, or the White House has been issued.
