Israel and Lebanon signed a peace framework agreement on Friday, according to an announcement from the State Department, marking the latest effort to end months of cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. Officials have released few specific details from the agreement, which was signed by Israeli Ambassador
The officials did not share details on the agreement, which does not include Hezbollah and prompted one of the group's officials in Lebanon to warn of civil war. The agreement comes after five rounds of talks aimed at ending hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. It includes a pilot effort for Lebanese soldiers to take control of two areas occupied by Israel, as well as a process aimed at disarming Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is not party to Friday's agreement, and previous ceasefires between Israel and Lebanon have still seen near-daily cross-border strikes. Israel, Lebanon, and the US have inked a trilateral accord to de-escalate border tensions, marking a significant step towards peace.
Global News Canada reported the story as "Israel, Lebanon sign framework deal with U.S. seen as 'first step' to peace." Al Jazeera English reported the story as "Hezbollah will not support Israel-Lebanon framework deal." Washington Examiner reported the story as "Israel and Lebanon sign peace framework."
