Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has declared that the Israeli army will not withdraw from the security zone in southern Lebanon, despite a recently announced ceasefire with Hezbollah. He stated that troops will maintain their current positions to protect northern Israel and will continue operations against ‘terrorists and their infrastructure’ as needed. This announcement followed Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon on Saturday, a day after the ceasefire was supposed to take effect.

The conflict is complicating broader diplomatic efforts, as Iran has indicated it will not advance in negotiations with the United States until the war against Lebanon ceases. The situation in Lebanon is reportedly the top agenda item for an emergency meeting in Switzerland between US, Iranian, and Pakistani delegations.
