Israeli officials disclose details of tripartite framework agreement: Israeli army continues to stay in southern Lebanon's "safe zone"

On June 27, an Israeli official disclosed that after talks between the United States, Israel and Lebanon, representatives of the three parties signed a tripartite framework agreement in the United States that night. Under the agreement, Israel will maintain troops in its unilaterally designated "security zone" in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah disarms in Lebanon. The official said that throughout the "safe zone", the Israel Defense Forces will retain its freedom of military action and can take action at any time to eliminate various potential security threats. At the same time, Israel and Lebanon agreed to gradually withdraw Israeli troops in two areas outside the "safe zone" and allow Lebanon government forces to take over control. Israeli officials and Lebanon have not responded to this news. (CCTV News)
