Netanyahu says Israel won't withdraw from Lebanon, flouting U.S.-Iran deal

Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel's commitment to maintain a security buffer zone in southern Lebanon despite a U.S.-Iran agreement calling for an end to hostilities in the region.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israeli forces will remain in southern Lebanon as long as necessary for Israel's security, despite the U.S.-Iran agreement calling for an end to military operations on all fronts including Lebanon.
  • Recent Israeli air and drone strikes in southern Lebanon have resulted in casualties amid ongoing cross-border tensions, despite international calls for Israel to halt military actions and withdraw forces according to the ceasefire deal.
  • The Israeli military has released a map showing troop positions extending approximately 10 kilometers into Lebanese territory, including maritime areas, which has raised legal and diplomatic disputes and drawn criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump.
  • Hezbollah and Iran view Israel's continued military presence in Lebanon as a violation of the U.S.-Iran agreement, with Hezbollah expecting increased political influence and threatening responses, while Netanyahu maintains the security zone and readiness to continue operations.
