Israel sidelined as five-nation Lebanon deconfliction framework takes shape

A five-nation deconfliction framework for southern Lebanon is being written without Israel at the table. The choreography of CENTCOM's diplomacy, and Katz's flat refusal to withdraw on American demand, suggest Jerusalem is being disciplined as much as consulted.

Desk note: Monexus read the deconfliction file by triangulating The Cradle's regional-security framing with the operational facts carried via Clash Report and OSINTdefender, and against the public statements from the Israeli, Iranian and American sides on 24 June. Where the regional-architecture outlets and the Israeli commentariat diverge, on whether Israel is being demoted or disciplined, both readings are presented and the divergence flagged. The troop-restraint story remains the canonical reference; the diplomatic-choreography reading is this publication's contribution.
