Israel, Lebanon discuss US-backed proposal for transfer of some southern territory to Lebanese army

Discussions between Israel and Lebanon are focusing on a U.S.-backed plan to transfer some contested southern territory currently held by Israeli forces to the Lebanese army after the war with Hezbollah. This proposal could signal a potential step toward stabilizing the region and reducing military presence, which is crucial for rebuilding and ensuring security for both nations. The involvement of the U.S. underscores the international stakes and the potential for this move to foster broader Middle East peace efforts.
