Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu lauded Lebanon's commitment to disarming Hezbollah by 2025, envisioning a potential reduction in Israel's military presence in southern Lebanon.

The group accuses Beirut of succumbing to US pressure, asserting the ceasefire only requires scaling back south of the Litani River.
