Hezbollah has demanded that Israel withdraw its forces from Lebanon unconditionally, as US-led diplomatic talks aimed at easing tensions continue.
The group said any negotiations would have little value unless Israel fully withdraws from the areas it occupies, insisting that such a move is the first step toward restoring stability along the border.
Meanwhile, US officials are continuing discussions with the parties involved in an effort to reduce tensions and find a diplomatic solution to the ongoing dispute.
Israel has rejected Hezbollah’s demand, maintaining that any decision regarding its military presence will depend on its security needs and assurances that future threats from the group will be prevented.
Political observers say the extension of the talks reflects continued efforts to avoid a wider regional conflict, despite significant disagreements between the two sides.
Analysts warn that failure to reach an agreement on the withdrawal issue could prolong instability and increase the risk of renewed clashes along the Israel–Lebanon border.
