U.S. support for Lebanon hinges on boundary demarcation at the border
The United States has presented a four-step plan aimed at maintaining peace between Israel and Lebanon, as reported by Al Bawaba on August 7th, 2025. The plan, which emphasises full implementation by the end of 2025, includes key points such as the withdrawal of Israeli troops from five occupied areas, the deployment of the Lebanese Army to these zones, and a plan for disarming Hezbollah.
In the initial phase (days 1-15), both sides' military actions will cease, and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will coordinate joint security. The Lebanese Army will establish its first posts near the southern border. During the second part of the plan (days 15 to 60), the disarmament process will begin, and the efforts to rebuild the economy will become official.
By the third phase (days 60 to 90), Israel would fully leave the remaining sites, and the Lebanese Army would take control of places that had been held before. The plan's final part (days 90-120) aims to enable Lebanon's security forces to fully control the country's borders, disarm Hezbollah, and start larger diplomacy and rebuilding efforts.
The Lebanese government is currently considering this peace plan. The government's stance on the plan will likely be finalised after more government talks. The plan also includes an international economic meeting with the U.S., France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other allies to help Lebanon's economy.
The plan suggests official lines to be drawn along the land and sea borders with Syria, using historical records and international maps to settle long-running disagreements. However, the specific lines to be drawn along the borders were not mentioned in the given information.
The Lebanese government has asked the army to present a full execution plan by August 31. The plan's details are not specified in the given paragraph. The execution plan aims to move the balance toward long-term peace and security in the area.
