## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, G7 leaders are likely to issue a coordinated statement welcoming the leaked US–Iran memorandum as a pathway to regional de-escalation, even as senior Israeli officials publicly reject any clauses requiring withdrawal from Lebanon or constraints on operations in Gaza. This will deepen the perception of a growing policy gap between Washington–Europe and Jerusalem, sharpening intra-alliance frictions over Lebanon and Hezbollah. Such divergence complicates implementation of the ceasefire and sanctions relief, leaving space for Iranian proxies to test red lines while claiming Israeli non-compliance. Confirmation would be a G7 communiqué referencing the MoU and Israeli ministers restating refusal to pull back from Lebanon; denial would be G7 silence or heavily hedged language on the deal.

## Drivers

- Leaked 14-point US–Iran MoU with sweeping ceasefire and sanctions relief
- G7 already welcoming a tentative US–Iran agreement
- Israeli finance minister vowing not to withdraw from Lebanon and denouncing Trump’s Iran deal
- CENTCOM assessment of fragile ceasefire and ongoing kinetic activity
