The outline for the ceasefire in Lebanon stipulates that the Israel Defense Forces’ phased withdrawal is supposed be implemented within 60 days. The clause was worded this way with the understanding that the withdrawal process may extend beyond 60 days, informs the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, reports Today in Israel.

It is noted that, "Since the ceasefire agreement has not yet been fully enforced by the State of Lebanon, the phased withdrawal process will continue, in full coordination with the United States."

It is also emphasized that Israel "will not endanger its communities and citizens, and will insist on the full implementation of the objective of the fighting in the north, which is the safe return of residents to their homes."
