The objective is to launch the first &#8220;pilot zone&#8221; for Israeli troop withdrawals within a matter of days.<\/p>\n<p>Our sources reveal that the US Central Command (<strong>CENTCOM<\/strong>) will serve as the direct guarantor and coordinator managing on-the-ground steps between the Lebanese and Israeli sides to ensure a seamless transition and avert any tactical friction. While maps for additional pilot zones are actively being drafted, reliable sources tell <span class=\"highlight\">&#8220;Jnews Lebanon&#8221;<\/span> that official Lebanese circles are approaching the US proposal with cautious pragmatism. This comes amid low-profile domestic critiques viewing the step as &#8220;modest,&#8221; given that it covers specific border towns (such as Froon and Zouter el-Gharbiyeh) where the occupation continues to push for leverage or disrupt field formulas through ongoing incursions and strikes.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the Lebanese Army has formally notified the US delegation of its complete readiness for immediate deployment to any point or town from which Israeli forces withdraw. Concurrently, our site has learned that the Lebanese delegation heading to the sixth round of negotiations in Rome next Wednesday and Thursday will be strictly diplomatic, with no direct military representation. This composition aims to focus the upcoming talks entirely on forming the technical and political committees stemming from the framework agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nRead also <a href=\"https:\/\/jnewslebanon.com\/?p=75599&#038;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Exclusive- Macron-Al-Sharaa Secret Deal: French Plan to Resettle Syrian Refugees in Lebanon!<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Section 2 --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"from-baabda-to-washington-hezbollahs-weapons-on-trumps-table\">From Baabda to Washington: Hezbollah&#8217;s Weapons on Trump&#8217;s Table<\/h2>\n<p>The most anticipated political event on the local horizon remains the upcoming official visit of the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, to Washington on July 21, where he is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, senior political sources tell <span class=\"highlight\">&#8220;Jnews Lebanon&#8221;<\/span> that the President has set clear boundaries regarding talks on the national defense strategy and Hezbollah&#8217;s arsenal.
