以色列一名高级官员告诉《耶路撒冷邮报》，与过去不同，美国现在打算积极主导解除真主党武装的努力，并准备动用美国资源来实现这一目标。该官员表示：“特朗普希望看到这种情况发生，因此这次美国将参与得更深。”
该官员补充说，目前的停火条款明显优于2024年11月的条款，情况“大为改善”，主要是因为真主党这次遭受了重大打击，包括大量人员伤亡，且以色列军队已实地驻扎。部队部署从纳库拉一直延伸到叙利亚且不会撤军。此外，伊朗在支持该组织恢复能力方面的地位也大为削弱。
以军将能够根据安全需要继续拆除相关建筑，就像目前所做的那样。此外，由于逃离黎巴嫩南部的数十万居民仍无法返回家园，这增加了黎巴嫩政府在谈判中前进的压力。该官员强调，以色列将继续针对任何对平民和士兵的威胁采取行动，并补充说：“这目前是一个为期10天的停火。为了让它继续下去，证明责任在于黎巴嫩和真主党。”

In addition, Iran is in a much weaker position in terms of its ability to support the organization’s recovery.”The forces will also be able to continue demolishing structures as required for security needs, as has been the case so far.Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of displaced residents who have fled southern Lebanon remain unable to return to their homes, increasing pressure on the Lebanese government to move forward in negotiations.An Israeli flag flutters at a military base in Lebanon, near the Israel-Lebanon border, as seen from the Israeli side of the border in northern Israel, April 13, 2026 (credit: REUTERS/FLORION GOGA)Israel will continue to protect soldiers and civiliansThe official emphasized that Israel will continue to act against any threat to civilians and soldiers, adding, “This is currently a ten-day ceasefire. For it to continue, the burden of proof lies with Lebanon and Hezbollah.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also emphasized Israel's continued maintenance of security earlier in the day, saying that Israel will maintain a security buffer, stretching 10 kilometers into southern Lebanon, for the duration of the ceasefire in order to deter any threat."We have changed the balance of security," Netanyahu said.This is a developing story.
