 Israel Rebukes French Proposal To Hasten Withdrawal From Lebanon: Report

The deadline by which Israel must withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon is only four days away

Israel has rejected a proposal put forward by France that would see UNIFIL forces and the French military replace Israeli occupation forces in certain areas of south Lebanon, which is aimed at speeding up the withdrawal of the Israeli army by the deadline set to expire in a few days.

According to a 14 February report by the Jerusalem Post, “Israel is instead choosing to remain in these five crucial locations.”

Israel’s Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) reported earlier this week that the US has backed a “long-term” Israeli army presence in south Lebanon. According to sources cited by Reuters, Israel has requested a 10-day extension of the 18 February deadline – which would see its forces withdraw by 28 February.

A Saudi media report this week also said that Israel has agreed with the US and Lebanon to extend its stay for at least another month. This was denied by Lebanese officials, including President Joseph Aoun.

Aoun affirmed Lebanon’s rejection of any further extension and denied what was conveyed by the Saudi Al-Hadath channel.
