Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated on May 25, 2026, that Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon remains non-negotiable. Israel maintains troops inside a self-declared yellow line approximately 10 kilometers inside Lebanese territory following a March 2 incursion, while a U.S.-brokered ceasefire has been in effect since April 17 and a fourth round of talks is scheduled for early June. One source reports continued Israeli ceasefire violations.
