Lebanese authorities have received the outline of an international proposal modeled on the so-called “Gaza experience,” aimed at ending hostilities with Israel and restructuring southern Lebanon under international supervision, diplomatic and political sources told Al-Modon.

According to the report, the plan envisions the formal end of the state of war between Lebanon and Israel, the dismantling of Hezbollah’s military wing, and the transformation of southern Lebanon into a weapons-free “economic zone” managed by international entities.

The proposal also calls for the creation of an international committee to oversee governance in the south, possibly including a Lebanese technocratic body to administer local affairs. The arrangement would mirror emerging discussions about Gaza’s postwar administration and could later be expanded to cover southern Syria, the sources said.

Diplomats familiar with the matter described the proposal as part of a broader U.S.-led effort to stabilize the region by replicating governance structures being considered for Gaza after the current conflict.

Under the envisioned framework, southern Lebanon would become a demilitarized zone open to international investment and reconstruction programs. The region would be subject to tight security controls, with border monitoring reinforced by multinational forces and a civilian administration answerable to the international committee.

Beirut’s response so far has been firm. President Joseph Aoun has reaffirmed that the Lebanese Army alone is responsible for defending the nation’s sovereignty and borders. The president’s stance has received swift backing from Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Hezbollah, whose parliamentary bloc denounced what it described as “a coordinated U.S.-Israeli campaign of threats, financial strangulation, and economic siege.”
