Washington will provide logistical and intelligence support to the Lebanese armed forces to advance against the terrorist group Hezbollah, as part of the historic agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon with the mediation of Donald Trump
Operational monitoring.
Oversight of compliance with the agreement.
The United States will not deploy combat troops, although it will act as a permanent observer to verify both Hezbollah's withdrawal and Israel's compliance with the commitments made regarding the areas it will temporarily control.
According to the annex of the agreement, a Military Coordination Group will be created, composed of representatives from the involved parties.
The document states:
"A trilateral Military Coordination Group will be established to facilitate indirect coordination between the parties, prevent incidents, manage de-escalation, and oversee the implementation of the agreement."
In practice, the United States will assume a central role in strategic coordination, managing the intelligence information it receives from both Israel and its own agencies.
One of the mechanisms planned seeks to avoid direct military contacts between Israel and Lebanon.
All information obtained by the Mossad or other Israeli agencies regarding Hezbollah's activities will first be channeled to CENTCOM, which will then decide what information to share with Lebanese military authorities.
In this way, Washington will function as a permanent intermediary between the two countries.
If differences arise during the implementation of the agreement, Marco Rubio will serve as the political mediator between Netanyahu and Aoun.
The agreement establishes as a priority the progressive dismantling of Hezbollah's military structure, considered one of the main tools of regional influence of the Iranian regime.
For Israel, neutralizing the terrorist group is an essential requirement to ensure the security of its northern border.
At the same time, the United States believes that strengthening the Lebanese Army will consolidate the authority of the state over the south of the country and reduce the operational margin of the militias backed by Tehran.
With this scheme, the Donald Trump administration seeks to consolidate a new strategic balance in the Middle East, directly supporting the Lebanese government in its offensive against Hezbollah while acting as a guarantor of compliance with the agreement reached with Israel.
The United States will support the Lebanese Army in operations aimed at dismantling the terrorist group Hezbollah, as part of the historic agreement reached between Israel and the Lebanese government with the mediation of the Donald Trump administration. The goal of the understanding is to end more than four decades of confrontations on Israel's northern border and reduce Iran's influence in the region.
The pact, negotiated in Washington with the participation of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, includes a military cooperation and intelligence-sharing scheme that will allow Lebanese forces to advance on Hezbollah positions with strategic support from the United States, although without the deployment of U.S. troops on the ground.
The initiative promoted by Donald Trump brought together Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun with the aim of closing one of the longest conflicts in the Middle East.
The agreement seeks to end the threat posed by Hezbollah, a terrorist organization created in 1982 and funded, trained, and armed by the Iranian regime.
For decades, the group has used southern Lebanon as a platform to launch attacks against Israel, coordinating at various stages actions alongside the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and later with Hamas.
The terrorist organization reacted harshly to the understanding reached between Jerusalem and Beirut.
Its leader, Naim Qassem, stated:
"Everything is null and void. It is a humiliation, a disgrace, and a renunciation of sovereignty."
From Tehran, they also questioned the agreement and argued that it contradicts the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed weeks earlier between Iran and the United States.
However, the text of the memorandum expressly establishes the commitment to permanently end military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, in addition to guaranteeing the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country.
One of the central points of the agreement is the support that the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) will provide to the Lebanese Army.
This support will include:
Intelligence information.
Logistical coordination.
