3 articles · Updated · The Jerusalem Post · Jun 22

Israel is considering announcing a symbolic withdrawal from some southern Lebanon positions in the next round of talks, with any pullback focused on minor areas along the Yellow Line, CNN reported.
Benjamin Netanyahu signaled the move would not curb military operations, saying the IDF has full freedom to strike direct or emerging threats in Lebanon and faces no restrictions.
Netanyahu also said Israel will stay in the southern Lebanon security zone as long as needed to protect residents of northern Israel, underscoring that any withdrawal under discussion would be limited rather than a broader exit.
