U.S. Pushes for Israeli Withdrawal from Lebanon | Lubbock News
Description
The U.S. is accelerating a bold plan to pull Israeli troops from southern Lebanon, paving the way for a fragile peace between two nations locked in decades of tension. A pilot zone in three villages has begun, with Lebanese forces already in control of two and Israeli troops still present in the third. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio backed the move, emphasizing that lasting peace depends on dismantling Hezbollah’s military power and building a unified Lebanese government. While Israel says it will adjust its presence, it also plans to keep a long-term security buffer. Hezbollah, however, rejects direct talks and insists U.S. diplomacy must involve Iran. Lebanon’s reformist government, eager to disarm non-state actors, sees Israeli withdrawal and U.S. aid as vital—but warns that without both, internal chaos could erupt.
