The Lebanese army must remove Hezbollah fighters from the territory between the Yellow Line and the Litani River before any further Israeli pullback occurs.
Katz stated that Israel will not conduct a full withdrawal from any of its current security positions until the Lebanese army demonstrates it can secure the designated area. The announcement follows the May 25, 2026, commemoration in Beirut marking Israel's 2000 withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
