Israel & Sudanese Armed Forces

Israel: Israel signed the framework agreement with Lebanon, viewing it as a first step towards peace and a blow to Iran and Hezbollah. Israel insists on maintaining a security zone in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah disarms.

Sudanese Armed Forces: The Sudanese Armed Forces are expected to take control of territory in 'pilot zones' as Israeli troops withdraw, and assume full security responsibility, with US support to improve their capabilities.

Israel: Israel has opposed UNIFIL's continued presence and its actions in southern Lebanon are a factor in the need for a new security arrangement.

Sudanese Armed Forces: The Sudanese Armed Forces are recognized for their role in maintaining security and are expected to take a larger role with international support after UNIFIL's departure.

Sudanese Armed Forces: The Sudanese Armed Forces are tasked with disarming Hezbollah, with its chief Rodolphe Haykal stating that the first phase of the plan is nearing completion.

Sudanese Armed Forces: The Sudanese Armed Forces are pulling out from parts of southern Lebanon, which is causing concern among Christians who feel exposed to Israeli forces.
