The United States requested two significant changes to the proposed Israel-Lebanon framework in an effort to secure the agreement, including an Israeli military withdrawal from a village in southern Lebanon currently under Israeli occupation and a clear commitment that the move would mark the beginning of a broader redeployment from Lebanese territory, according to an Axios reporter.
The reported U.S. proposal is aimed at advancing negotiations surrounding the framework designed to reduce tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, where security concerns have remained high in recent months.
According to the report, Washington asked Israel to revise the text of the proposed agreement by incorporating two specific provisions. The first calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from a village in southern Lebanon that remains under Israeli military occupation.
The second requested change seeks an explicit statement confirming that such a withdrawal would represent the first phase of a wider Israeli redeployment from Lebanon rather than an isolated military move.
The reported amendments reflect ongoing U.S. diplomatic efforts to build consensus around the proposed framework and facilitate progress in negotiations involving Israel and Lebanon.
While the report outlined Washington’s requested revisions, neither the U.S. administration nor the Israeli government immediately issued official public comments confirming the details of the reported proposals.
The framework under discussion is intended to support efforts aimed at reducing cross-border tensions and creating conditions for greater stability along the frontier between Israel and Lebanon.
Diplomatic contacts involving regional and international stakeholders have continued as efforts intensify to prevent further escalation and encourage negotiated arrangements addressing security concerns.
The reported U.S. proposals suggest Washington is seeking language that provides greater clarity regarding future military redeployment while strengthening confidence in the implementation of any eventual agreement.
No official timeline has been announced for finalising the framework, and negotiations remain ongoing. It also remains unclear whether the proposed amendments will be incorporated into the final text or whether additional revisions will be sought during the diplomatic process.
Officials from the parties involved have not announced any breakthrough following the latest round of discussions, and negotiations are continuing.
