Israel Begins Troop Withdrawal as Trump Hosts Lebanese President Aoun

Israeli forces started withdrawing from southern Lebanon as part of a U.S. mediated ceasefire agreement. This movement coincides with Trump hosting Lebanese President Michel Aoun at the White House. Aoun seeks to generate pressure on Israel to complete the military exit. He also plans to discuss military assistance for the Lebanese Armed Forces to ensure border security. The agreement requires the disarmament of Hezbollah to maintain long term stability. Aoun intends to use the meeting to implement the U.S. brokered plan for regional peace. This initial pullback serves as a test of the truce between the two nations.
