Exclusive Jnews Lebanon
Diplomatic sources have exclusively revealed to “Jnews Lebanon” that today’s virtual Tripartite Military Committee meeting—held via Zoom under US auspices—witnessed an intense technical standoff behind closed screens.
According to highly confidential details obtained by our desk, the Lebanese Army delegation, led by the Director of Operations, threw a definitive veto against the latest Israeli proposal. Yarzeh firmly rejected Tel Aviv’s attempt to manipulate the Framework Agreement by confining the “First Pilot Zone” to southern towns that are already liberated, effectively treating the army’s deployment there as a deceptive Israeli “withdrawal.”
Sources confirmed to “Jnews” that the Lebanese stance remained unyielding: “There will be no full pilot deployment across the six designated towns unless it is directly paired with a clear, public timetable for a real Israeli military withdrawal from genuinely occupied villages deep within the Central or Western sectors.”
This strict Lebanese resolve, coupled with an absolute refusal to allow any Israeli representation on the field verification committee, caught US mediators off guard. Washington is now racing to engineer a swift technical compromise ahead of President Joseph Aoun’s arrival at the White House, looking to prevent the pilot plan from collapsing before it even begins.
