## Prediction

In the next day, the newly announced U.S. coordination cell will begin drafting and circulating specific rules of engagement, monitoring protocols, and communication channels among the IDF, LAF, and U.S. officers to manage the partial Israeli withdrawal. This will formalize Washington’s role as an on-the-ground arbiter of incidents along the northern front, making any cross-border flare-up a direct test of U.S. credibility. Allies and adversaries alike will reassess American willingness to enforce red lines against both Hezbollah and Israel, with implications for Iran’s calculus across the region. Confirmation would include U.S. or Lebanese statements about joint patrols, liaison teams, or hotlines; any delay or domestic U.S. pushback against deeper involvement would dial back this trajectory.

## Drivers

- Announcement of a U.S.-facilitated trilateral military coordination group for Lebanon
- Signing of U.S.-brokered framework and Declaration of Intent on Israeli withdrawal
- U.S. commitment of $100 million in humanitarian aid linked to the framework
