The full text of the framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon, published Saturday morning, stipulates a gradual IDF withdrawal from Lebanese territory that depends on the Lebanese armed forces verifying the disarmament of non-state armed groups, primarily Hezbollah, and dismantling their infrastructure. The two countries commit to forging a full peace agreement, according to Israeli media citing the document.
The full text of the framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon was published Saturday morning, Israeli media reported, providing the first detailed look at the terms of a diplomatic breakthrough that has been taking shape over recent weeks.
The document, shared by a single linked Telegram source, follows the publication of key clauses Friday night and the earlier US State Department statement affirming that Israeli withdrawal is conditioned on the removal of Hezbollah's threat. As The Zioneer reported Friday night, the first clause commits both governments to a phased, reciprocal process — the Lebanese armed forces restore state authority after verifying disarmament of non-state armed groups, enabling the IDF to gradually redeploy outside Lebanese territory.
The agreement represents the most significant diplomatic framework between the two countries in decades. Hezbollah's leadership has already rejected the deal, with its parliamentary bloc demanding it be scrapped, as The Zioneer reported Friday evening. The Iranian-backed organization remains part of the Lebanese cabinet, creating uncertainty about implementation.
Background context from the past two weeks — including earlier reports about US-Iran talks expanding to Lebanon and Lebanese fears that the deal entrenches Hezbollah's power — indicates deep domestic and regional tension over the pact, though The Zioneer has not independently verified the full text's authenticity beyond the single source.
