Lebanon deputy PM says framework with Israel lacks timeline for army’s withdrawal

Lebanese Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri revealed that the framework for a ceasefire with Israel does not specify a timeline for Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon. This omission has raised concerns about the effectiveness and urgency of the agreement. The lack of a timeline suggests potential challenges in achieving a complete and timely resolution to the conflict, highlighting the need for more active mediation from Washington. The absence of a clear withdrawal plan could prolong the tension and instability in the region.
