Israel and Lebanon sign US-brokered framework agreement linking Israeli withdrawal to Hezbollah disarmament.
Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered trilateral framework agreement in Washington on June 26, 2026, after four days of negotiations. The deal creates pilot zones for Israeli withdrawal tied to Hezbollah disarmament, excludes both Iran and Hezbollah from the process, and establishes a Military Coordination Group. Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem rejected the agreement as "null and void," while both sides reported over 4,000 Lebanese killed since March.

The split, in one line
Western and Israeli outlets frame the deal as boxing out Iran and a first step toward peace, while Arab and critical outlets emphasize it legitimizes occupation and ask whether it will lead to civil war.
