Event details

AP reported Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted Israel and Lebanon for a Washington framework agreement that starts a process for dismantling Hezbollah and restoring Lebanese control of territory held by Israel. Hezbollah was outside the deal and warned it would resist disarmament.

Context

This is the Lebanon implementation hinge inside the wider Iran deal: U.S.-Iran language about all fronts now depends on a Lebanese army handover plan that Hezbollah rejects and Israel says must precede withdrawal.
