U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new trilateral framework agreement with Israel and Lebanon, describing it as the first step toward a lasting peace after months of cross-border conflict. The agreement, signed in Washington by the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors, aims to restore stability, strengthen Lebanese sovereignty, and work toward a permanent cessation of hostilities. Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter said the framework paves the way for "real peace," adding that "Iran is out" and "Hezbollah is out" of the new arrangement. Although officials did not disclose the agreement's full details, the announcement marks a significant diplomatic development amid ongoing Middle East tensions.
