According to a recent UN report, 821,077 people have begun returning to their homes. However, the report also indicated that over 360,000 individuals remain displaced, a figure that includes approximately 26,000 people located within Israeli-controlled areas. The context for this displacement is marked by recent escalation, including Israeli airstrikes and the potential invasion of Lebanon.
These actions have resulted in the deaths of over 4,300 people and the displacement of hundreds of thousands more. In parallel with these developments, diplomatic efforts have continued between Lebanon and Israel. The seventh round of talks, hosted by the UN in Rome, convened to discuss the previously established framework agreement.
This follows a fifth round of talks held in Washington, which resulted in the signing of a “framework agreement” on June 26. This agreement stipulates the reestablishment of control over certain territories by the Lebanese army. Specifically, the framework outlines that the Lebanese military is slated to take control of these areas starting at the end of July, coinciding with the expected withdrawal of the Israeli army from those regions.
The ongoing discussions aim to solidify a path for the return of people and the stabilization of life in their communities.
