A senior Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post on Saturday that the IDF will not be withdrawing from Lebanon or making concessions, contrary to Lebanese reports stating the opposite.

“There are no concessions and no withdrawals. The IDF is deployed along the Blue Line in positions deemed optimal for the protection of our forces. This is the directive issued by the military leadership, with the backing of the political echelon,” the official told the Post.

This comes in response to an earlier report from Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International (LBCI), which claimed that the US had notified Lebanon that Israel was planning to withdraw some troops as a “goodwill gesture” ahead of Israel-Lebanon negotiations that are set to take place in Washington on Tuesday.
