Israel expects increased pressure for its withdrawal after Aoun's election
U.S. and Israeli officials believe that Joseph Aoun’s election as president in Lebanon “will increase the pressure on Israel to complete the withdrawal of its forces from south Lebanon by the end of January,” Israel’s Walla news portal has reported.
Lebanese media reports have recently said that Israel would withdraw its forces from south Lebanon by January 27 but would keep control of three strategic hills inside Lebanon.
Israel intends to build “military bases” on the three hills, the reports said.
