The Israeli occupation is considering announcing limited withdrawals from parts of Lebanese territory it occupies, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN.

The reported proposal would involve what the source described as "symbolic" redeployments from minor positions beyond the so-called "Yellow Line", an area of land within Lebanese territory that "Israel" occupied after the November 2024 ceasefire with Lebanon, and which "Israel" has repeatedly refused to surrender.

According to CNN, the proposal has been discussed in advance of three days of US-sponsored talks between Lebanese and Israeli representatives. However, the move comes as Iran has rejected moving forward with the MoU with the US unless a ceasefire is achieved in Lebanon.

The source told CNN the move is being presented as a political gesture toward the Lebanese state while efforts continue to contain broader regional tensions.

The discussions come amid ongoing pressure by Iran to secure the implementation of ceasefire arrangements and address continued Israeli strikes and occupation in southern Lebanon.

According to CNN's source, occupation officials view the proposed withdrawal as a means of advancing its direct negotiations with Lebanon, keeping them distinct from parallel negotiations involving Iran and the United States.

The talks are expected to take place under US auspices in Washington and come as pressure mounts over the occupation's continued military presence in Lebanese territory.

Iranian and Lebanese Resistance officials have repeatedly stressed that full implementation of the ceasefire understandings requires a complete withdrawal of occupation forces from southern Lebanon and an end to ongoing attacks.
