U.S.-mediated talks produced a June 26 framework agreement under which Israel would gradually withdraw from southern Lebanon in stages, beginning with pilot zones transferred to the Lebanese army, in return for Hezbollah disarmament and eventual security arrangements. Implementation advanced in mid-July when the U.S. reported Israeli agreement on initial zones, followed by limited handovers reported around July 20–21.

These competing positions, alongside continued U.S. diplomatic pressure and Lebanese army deployment efforts, shape trader assessments of any near-term complete Israeli exit.
