For almost a year, Washington has promoted various versions of a deal that would gradually lead to its full implementation. <\/p>\n<p>International mediators hope that by boosting financial support for the Lebanese army \u2014 which was not a party in the Israel-Hezbollah war \u2014 Lebanon can deploy some 6,000 additional troops south of the Litani River to help enforce the resolution. Under the deal, an international monitoring committee headed by the United States would oversee implementation to ensure that Hezbollah and Israel\u2019s withdrawals take place.<\/p>\n<p>It is not entirely clear how the committee would work or how potential violations would be reported and dealt with.<\/p>\n<p>The circumstances now are far more complicated than in 2006. Some are still skeptical of the resolution\u2019s viability given that the political realities and balance of power both regionally and within Lebanon have dramatically changed since then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re tying 1701 with a hundred things,\u201d Bahout said. \u201cA resolution is the reflection of a balance of power and political context.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\" data-align-fullwidth=\"\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"ImageTwoUpEnhancement\">\n<p>                <bsp-figure><\/p>\n<figure class=\"Figure\" data-openoverlay=\"\">\n<picture data-crop=\"twoup-3x2\"><source media=\"(max-width: 599px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/dd8180a\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3496+0+2\/resize\/599x399!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/1b0055c\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3496+0+2\/resize\/1198x798!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 2x\"><source media=\"(max-width: 599px)\" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/2292cfb\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3496+0+2\/resize\/599x399!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/42ab26e\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3496+0+2\/resize\/1198x798!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 2x\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/6fd7ea4\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3497+0+1\/resize\/767x511!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/2ae6651\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3497+0+1\/resize\/1534x1022!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 2x\"><source width=\"767\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/a70def5\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3497+0+1\/resize\/767x511!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/b141acc\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3497+0+1\/resize\/1534x1022!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 2x\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"Image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/a70def5\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3497+0+1\/resize\/767x511!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/b141acc\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3497+0+1\/resize\/1534x1022!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00 2x\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/a70def5\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5249x3497+0+1\/resize\/767x511!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F06%2F31%2F2046700997637b782e619affe59e%2Fc0091ed806e04c98ba0f15f0b550ac00\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<div class=\"Figure-content\">\n<p><bsp-read-more class=\"ReadMore\" data-more-button-text=\"Read More\" data-less-button-text=\"Read Less\" data-expand=\"ReadMore-expand\" data-limit=\"110\" data-main-class=\"ReadMore\"><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\">In this screen grab image from video provide by the Israeli Government Press Office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes a televised statement Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, in Jerusalem, Israel.
