Israel, Lebanon discuss US-backed proposal for transfer of some southern territory to Lebanese army
The proposal would put Lebanese troops in U.S.-vetted pilot zones while Israel keeps a border buffer and seeks a withdrawal timeline.
- On Tuesday, Israeli and Lebanese officials began talks in Washington to discuss a U.S.-backed proposal transferring southern Lebanese territory to the Lebanese Armed Forces.
- Israeli forces remain deployed in a self-declared security zone to shield northern communities, a strategy Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended by saying, 'We initiate, we attack, we surprise.'
- Under the proposed 'pilot' initiative, Lebanese troops would undergo U.S. training and vetting to ensure they have no ties to Hezbollah, while Israel maintains its border buffer zone.
- Discussions regarding withdrawal timelines are ongoing, with a concrete plan expected to emerge only after the final day of military-to-military talks on Thursday.
- Despite Hezbollah's rejection, the U.S. and Iran agreed to a de-confliction cell to ensure a ceasefire, which has largely held since June 21.
