The 14-point trilateral framework signed Friday in Washington commits Israel and Lebanon to a phased, reciprocal process in which the Lebanese Armed Forces restore state sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, pending verified disarmament of non-state armed groups and dismantlement of their infrastructure, enabling the IDF to gradually redeploy out of Lebanon. The text, published by a single source, aligns with prior US and Israeli statements emphasizing that Israeli withdrawal is conditioned on Hezbollah disarmament.
The full 14-clause text of the Israel-Lebanon-U.S. trilateral framework agreement was released Saturday morning by a desk-reviewed report, providing the most detailed public account of the document signed in Washington on Friday. The text reveals a structured, phased process linking Israeli military redeployment to the verified disarmament of Hezbollah and other non-state armed groups by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF).
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the agreement establishes pilot zones – two initial areas already agreed upon – where the LAF will gradually assume security responsibility after confirming disarmament, enabling IDF withdrawal. The framework explicitly commits Lebanon to 'complete and verified disarmament of all non-state armed groups' and to ensuring 'no military or security role' for such groups anywhere in its territory. The United States is designated as the mediating and verification partner, with a trilateral military coordination group to oversee implementation.
The text also includes mutual recognition of sovereignty (Article 1), a Lebanese commitment to a 'monopoly of arms' (Article 4), Israeli declarations of no territorial ambitions (Article 5), and frameworks for reconstruction and preventing funds to non-state armed groups (Articles 10-11). The agreement is dated June 26, 2026, and signed in three originals in English.
The text remains from a single source and has not yet been independently corroborated by official Israeli, Lebanese, or U.S. channels. The Zioneer's prior coverage extensively documented the US State Department's Friday endorsement and Prime Minister Netanyahu's statements that the framework conditions Israeli withdrawal on Hezbollah disarmament, which the full text confirms.
