Israel and Lebanon Sign US-Brokered Framework to Wind Down Their Conflict
Israel and Lebanon, still technically at war, signed a US-mediated framework on 26 June pledging to end their conflict through a sequenced, conditional process. Israel will hand two pilot zones to the Lebanese army once Hezbollah is disarmed there, but keeps its security zone and sets no timetable. Beirut called it a first step; Hezbollah rejected it.
