Israel, Lebanon, and the US have signed a trilateral framework agreement aimed at ending the long-running conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the agreement as an important first step, but warned that there's a lot of work ahead.
The agreement will be implemented through a trilateral Military Coordination Group for Lebanon, with the US committing significant resources to support the effort, including $100 million in humanitarian assistance.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the agreement as a 'great achievement', but said Israel would keep its troops in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed.
Hezbollah has warned against the agreement, with the group's lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah saying it could trigger a civil war.
