Israeli and Lebanese officials signed a US-brokered framework agreement in June 2026 that links any phased IDF redeployment from areas north of the Litani River to verifiable Hezbollah disarmament and Lebanese Armed Forces deployment in designated pilot zones. Israel has completed limited pullbacks from two small sites—one south and one north of the river—while retaining a broader security buffer and conducting operations to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure. Netanyahu and senior IDF commanders have stated forces will remain until threats are eliminated, creating a conditions-based process rather than a fixed timeline. Recent diplomatic meetings, including with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and reports of a 60-day implementation window have highlighted sequencing disputes, with Hezbollah insisting on withdrawal before disarmament talks advance. Ongoing strikes and delays in broader talks continue to shape assessments of near-term full withdrawal prospects.
