The Lebanese group Hezbollah has demanded that Israeli forces complete a withdrawal from the country’s south in line with terms of the ceasefire deal agreed by the two sides, as the Israeli government said the agreement was not being implemented fast enough.

Israel and the Iran-aligned group agreed in November to a ceasefire mediated by France and the United States, bringing an end to more than a year of fighting.

Under the deal, Israeli forces were to withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah forces were to withdraw from southern Lebanon over a 60-day period ending on Monday.

But it has come to light that Israel is in discussions with the administration of President Donald Trump to convince the US to extend the deadline for at least another month.
