**The June 2026 U.S.-brokered framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon ties any Israeli redeployment from southern Lebanon to verifiable Hezbollah disarmament and Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) assumption of security control across designated areas.** Israel has committed only to two small pilot zones—one north and one south of the Litani River—where limited withdrawals could occur once the LAF demonstrates effective control, with further phased reductions conditioned on measurable progress rather than fixed timelines. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, have stated explicitly that forces will remain in the expanded security zone until Hezbollah is fully disarmed and no longer poses a threat, describing the presence as potentially long-term. Hezbollah has rejected the deal as surrender and vowed continued resistance. Implementation of even the pilot zones has faced delays, with coordination through a U.S.-facilitated trilateral group ongoing but no major expansions reported. These conditions-based terms and entrenched positions on disarmament remain the dominant factors shaping expectations around any broader withdrawal timeline.
