US refuses to intervene — tension on the border escalates
The US plan for resolving the Israel-Lebanon border situation is at risk of collapse due to the lack of mechanisms to control Hezbollah's disarmament. American military officials warn that without a monitoring system, the agreements risk remaining formal. Talks in Rome are scheduled for August 4.
The US plan for resolving the Israel-Lebanon border situation is at risk of collapse: without a control mechanism, Hezbollah's disarmament may remain only on paper. American military officials warn that the pilot phase showed positive results but revealed a key problem — the lack of a monitoring system and enforcement tools. The main obstacle remains the inability of Lebanese authorities to force Hezbollah to disarm, despite statements by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. Talks in Rome are scheduled for August 4. The US refuses to deploy troops in Lebanon, proposing to involve international inspectors. Israel takes a tough stance: without full disarmament of Hezbollah, a withdrawal of forces is impossible. The IDF reported the discovery of a large weapons depot in the village of Majdal Zun in southern Lebanon, as well as an Iranian facility 'Ben-Germ drone airfield'.
