Israeli officials have stated that the issue of withdrawing troops from southern Lebanon is not currently on the negotiation table, according to a report by Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. Israeli attacks in Lebanon are continuing, and officials indicated that any future withdrawal would only be considered under specific conditions following an agreement with Beirut.
The statement comes amid uncertainty surrounding a proposed memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran. The memorandum, expected to be signed virtually on Sunday, reportedly includes discussions related to Iran’s nuclear program, though disagreements remain over its content and timing.
The ongoing military operations and diplomatic uncertainty highlight the complex regional dynamics involving Israel, Lebanon, Iran, and the United States, with no immediate indication of de-escalation.
