14 February 2025 12:54 GMT
The foreign ministers of France and Lebanon have said they are demanding that the Israeli military withdraws completely from Lebanon by 18 February, Haaretz reported.
The original deadline for the withdrawal was 26 January, but the US extended it to 18 February after Israel kept troops in Lebanon beyond that date.
A senior Trump administration official suggested on Thursday that Washington may allow Israel to maintain control over five outposts in southern Lebanon.
