The Israeli military will not withdraw from Lebanese territory unless specific benchmarks are established that obligate the Lebanese Army to take immediate action against Hezbollah, according to statements from the Broadcasting Authority.

The conditions represent a significant development in ongoing negotiations surrounding Israeli military presence in Lebanon. The framework would require the Lebanese Armed Forces to demonstrate concrete commitment to confronting the party directly and without delay, serving as a prerequisite for any Israeli troop pullback.

This position underscores the linkage between security arrangements on the ground and the timeline for military disengagement, placing responsibility on Lebanese state institutions to enforce the terms of any potential agreement.
