Hezbollah Rejects Lebanon-Israel Deal as Israeli Troops Stay Put

Lebanon’s US-backed agreement with Israel has sparked immediate backlash. Hezbollah and its political allies announced they will not follow the deal, citing continued Israeli military presence on Lebanese territory. The agreement, brokered by the United States, aimed to reduce tensions along the border. However, Israeli troops have not withdrawn from occupied areas, undermining the pact’s credibility. Hezbollah, a powerful Iran-backed militant group and political party in Lebanon, called the deal a violation of national sovereignty. Its rejection raises the risk of renewed violence in the region. Analysts say the standoff highlights deep mistrust between the two sides. For now, the agreement’s future remains uncertain as both parties dig in.
