Israel-Lebanon Framework Agreement Signed in Washington
First report 1d agoLast update 23h agoThe agreement is seen as a source of internal division and potential civil war within Lebanon, with protests erupting in Beirut and warnings from political figures like Nabih Berri.
The agreement is viewed as a positive step towards peace, stability, and the restoration of Lebanese sovereignty, with international bodies and some Lebanese officials welcoming it.
Hezbollah and its supporters vehemently reject the agreement, calling it a 'humiliation,' 'null and void,' and a 'surrender of sovereignty,' especially due to the condition of Hezbollah's disarmament.
Critics argue the agreement is a capitulation to Israeli demands, allowing Israel to maintain influence and potentially annex Lebanese territories, while failing to secure full Israeli withdrawal.
