The United States, through its special envoy Tom Barrack, has called on Israel to comply with a 2024 ceasefire agreement following Lebanon's commitment to disarm the Hezbollah militant group. Lebanon's government has endorsed a U.S.-backed plan that includes disarming Hezbollah, and in response, the U.S. has urged Israel to reduce strikes in Lebanon, pause non-urgent military actions, and consider a phased withdrawal from five Israeli outposts. This proposal aims to facilitate a long-term cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon. Lebanese officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Metri, have emphasized the continued importance of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to support the Lebanese army in maintaining stability and monitoring the ceasefire along the Blue Line. However, Israel has rejected Barrack's proposal to end fighting with Hezbollah, despite agreeing to gradually stop targeted strikes in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese leadership has also demanded a full Israeli withdrawal and an end to attacks, pressing Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to comply with the ceasefire terms. The situation remains tense, with public opposition in Lebanon to the disarmament plan and ongoing diplomatic efforts to achieve a sustainable peace.
