# Lebanon and Israel are discussing a US-backed proposal for Israeli forces to transfer some of the Lebanese territory invaded in their war with Hezbollah to Lebanon’s military. The proposed pilot project is part of the latest round of Israeli-Lebanese talks in Washington, even after they appear to have been eclipsed by Iran’s move to make Lebanon central to its talks with the United States. Israeli forces occupied a swathe of southern Lebanon during the war that was ignited when Hezbollah opened fire at Israel in support of Tehran.
