Lebanon, Israel Agree on Shortlist of Countries to Verify Hezbollah Disarmament
The United States will choose from the list as talks continue on a third-party role in Hezbollah’s disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawals.
- Lebanon and Israel agreed on Friday to a shortlist of countries that could deploy troops to verify Hezbollah's disarmament under a United States-brokered agreement, with Washington due to select nations from the list.
- The agreement links Israel's phased withdrawal from Lebanon to the disarmament of Hezbollah, requiring independent verification by a third party under a June 26 deal framework.
- Lebanon and Israel rejected private security firms for the verification role; previous reports indicate the United States and Israel vetoed France from the potential actors list.
- The United States will select troop-contributing nations from the list, though a Lebanese official noted the process requires a new Security Council resolution to proceed.
- Negotiators must still determine force size and how troops would cooperate with the Lebanese army, with the next round of talks set for early September.
