Israel and Lebanon sign US-brokered framework agreement for phased withdrawal and Hezbollah disarmament.
Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered framework agreement in Washington on June 26, 2026, aimed at ending months of conflict.

The framework establishes pilot zones for Lebanese army deployment and creates a trilateral Military Coordination Group.

The split, in one line
Israeli and US outlets frame the deal as a historic breakthrough that sidelines Iran, while Arab and European outlets emphasize that it does not mandate Israeli withdrawal and highlight Hezbollah's rejection. The wires present the facts without the triumphalist framing.
