Israel and Lebanon Sign Framework Deal in Washington
Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement in Washington on Friday evening that includes an Israeli withdrawal from two areas in southern Lebanon for a pilot phase. Under the plan, the Lebanese army will enter those areas in place of the Israel Defense Forces.
A senior political source said the document is intended as a working framework that should lead to future agreements, with the goal of ending the conflict and reaching a peace arrangement between the countries.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Iran is trying to force us to withdraw by force from southern Lebanon. And in effect Israel, Lebanon and the United States are telling them, this is none of your business. You have no role in Lebanon, neither you nor Hezbollah nor any terrorist organization."
