"We cannot live with a so-called buffer zone, an Israeli presence where Lebanese displaced people are not allowed to return, where destroyed villages and towns cannot be rebuilt."
"Beirut hopes to prolong the initial 10-day ceasefire, eventually secure an Israeli military withdrawal and allow more than a million displaced people to return home."
Lebanon is pressing the Trump administration to influence Israel to reduce its demands and cease military actions. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated that Lebanon cannot accept any agreement without a complete Israeli withdrawal. He emphasized the need for displaced Lebanese to return home and rebuild their villages. Salam also called for an extension of the ceasefire, which is set to expire soon. Despite ongoing negotiations, Israel maintains its military operations against Hezbollah, complicating the situation for returning residents.
