Lebanon and Israel Face Off
The article discusses the developments in the Lebanese-Israeli negotiations in Rome, where it has become evident that the disagreement is no longer limited solely to Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territories. It now also concerns the fate of Hezbollah's military infrastructure and the mechanisms to ensure that these structures are not rebuilt after the withdrawal. Israel presented maps and images of infrastructure and tunnels extending into Lebanon's depths, basing its position on not withdrawing forces from areas that contain military facilities that could be reused, which complicates the negotiations. The Lebanese side demands Israel's withdrawal from South Lebanon, while Israel wants to ensure that the Lebanese state controls the territory and disarms Hezbollah before any withdrawal. The main dispute revolves around the order of steps: Lebanon insists on first withdrawing and securing state control, whereas Israel wants to ensure that Lebanon's capacity to control and rebuild is intact before pulling out. The negotiations depend heavily on the implementation of Lebanon's demands on the ground, especially regarding the halt of excavation activities and the designation of new areas for experimentation. It is anticipated that the Lebanese government will face a significant test in exercising its authority and enforcing control over military facilities within residential areas, which will determine the future of the understandings between the two sides.
