Israel plans withdrawals before Rome talks
Reports indicate that the Israeli army is preparing to withdraw from some areas in southern Lebanon within the coming days, coinciding with a new round of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations in Rome under American sponsorship. According to a framework agreement signed in June 2026, Israel is implementing a gradual withdrawal from Lebanese territories under American supervision, with two initial zones designated whose identities have not been disclosed. The Israeli government has issued instructions to freeze sensitive operations in southern Lebanon, linking the execution of the withdrawal to the Lebanese army taking responsibility for security and finding a solution to the issue of arms outside state control. These steps come ahead of the Rome meeting, which will discuss implementation mechanisms and security arrangements, amid the continued presence of Israeli forces in a security zone that Lebanon considers a violation of its sovereignty.
