Israel has refused to expand the scope of pilot zones in Lebanon due to the Lebanese army's failure to meet its commitments, i24NEWS learned on Friday. An American source indicated that Israel is unwilling to broaden the program without tangible progress on the ground, despite Lebanese pressure. A Western source confirmed to i24NEWS that the United States also expressed dissatisfaction with the Lebanese army's performance, noting a lack of required pace and effectiveness in the pilot project plan. According to the source, the US is engaged in direct dialogue with the Lebanese government to advance the initiative, but emphasized that the responsibility for implementation rests with the Lebanese army.
