Israel has announced it will not withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon by the recent deadline, citing ongoing violations by Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed that Israeli forces will remain in the area beyond the agreed 60-day period, leading to potential breaches of the ceasefire terms established between the two sides. Additionally, sources indicate that Israel is seeking a 30-day extension for its withdrawal, amidst mounting pressures and concerns regarding regional stability. The Lebanese President has reiterated the need for an immediate withdrawal, while Hezbollah has warned of consequences if Israel fails to meet its obligations. The situation continues to unfold as talks between Israel and the U.S. are reportedly underway concerning the troop withdrawal timeline.
