Commentator Zeev Kam argues that the framework agreement accepts Israel's position: no gradual IDF withdrawal, only after Hezbollah's complete military dismantlement, and the two pilot areas are north of the security zone. He assesses Hezbollah will not disarm, implying a prolonged IDF stay.
In an analysis circulating on Israeli channels, commentator Zeev Kam argues that the Israel-Lebanon framework agreement codifies the Israeli position on two disputed points: the IDF will not withdraw in stages but only after Hezbollah's complete military dismantlement, and the two pilot areas designated for initial IDF repositioning are located north of the security zone. Kam assesses that Hezbollah will not agree to full disarmament, comparing the likelihood to Israel winning the World Cup. He links this to the defense minister's statement this week that the IDF is establishing itself inside Lebanon and preparing for a prolonged stay, suggesting the agreement effectively guarantees a long-term Israeli military presence. The analysis adds to the ongoing public discussion of the agreement's implications.
