Diplomatic source denies Israel free movement in annex deal
The mystery surrounding the "secret annex" of the Lebanon-Israel framework agreement remains unresolved, amid reports that Israel may be enabled to verify the identities of those returning to southern towns, conduct house searches, and possibly impose conditions before reconstruction. This has raised concerns about obstructing the return of residents or the stationing of Israeli forces in the area. Meanwhile, diplomatic sources confirm that there are no secret clauses in the agreement, and that the publicly announced provisions stipulate the disarmament of armed groups, full control of the Lebanese army over the south, and mechanisms for reconstruction and military deployment. The discussions are leaning towards evaluating Lebanon's commitment to implementing the agreement's provisions and future arrangements for border and security protection—especially given the ongoing ambiguity surrounding verification methods and the implementation of the secret clauses, as some parties refuse to move to subsequent steps before finalizing mutual understandings.
