Lebanon, Israel agree shortlist of countries that could send troops to verify Hezbollah disarmament

Lebanon and Israel have reached an agreement on a shortlist of nations eligible to deploy troops to monitor the disarmament of Hezbollah. The selection process is part of a broader, ongoing effort brokered by the United States to resolve the hostilities that have persisted between the two sides since March.

This development marks a procedural step in the implementation of a potential ceasefire and disarmament framework. The agreement, confirmed by a Lebanese official, focuses on establishing an international mechanism to verify the removal of Hezbollah's military capabilities in accordance with the US-led diplomatic initiative.
