The Trump administration’s new Israel-Lebanon deal isn’t separate from its landmark memorandum of understanding with Iran — it’s the first major test of whether the agreement can prevent another regional war that could again drag the US back into conflict, a US government official told The Post. The deal allows Israel Defense Forces to remain in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed and the Lebanese Armed Forces can manage the terror group’s threat to both countries — a provision the official said reinforces Beirut’s sovereignty, as envisioned in the MOU. “The Trump Administration is working to achieve a sovereign Lebanon that isn’t being threatened internally by Hezbollah, and Hezbollah cannot use southern Lebanon to pose a threat to neighbors,” the official said.
