The United States published the complete text of the Trilateral Framework signed by the United States, Israel, and Lebanon, laying out the structure for a phased political and security process intended to end the conflict and restore conditions for lasting peace.
The framework frames the agreement as a “sovereignty-for-security” arrangement. It calls for Lebanon to move toward restoring effective state authority across its territory—linked to a process for verified disarmament of non-state armed groups—particularly Hezbollah. In parallel, it sets out conditions under which Israel would progressively redeploy out of Lebanese territory after the relevant threat is removed.
The document also describes follow-on steps to draft a comprehensive peace and security agreement through working groups and to establish continuous direct engagement channels facilitated by the United States. It further provides for implementation oversight through a U.S.-facilitated mechanism, including a military coordination group for Lebanon, intended to manage compliance, verification, and coordination between the parties.
In the U.S. accompanying statement, Washington portrays the agreement as a major milestone in a broader regional peace effort. It says the framework provides a structured pathway to disarm Hezbollah and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure, while enabling Israel to return to its borders once the threat to Israeli citizens is removed. The U.S. statement also references humanitarian assistance commitments and support to improve the capacity of Lebanon’s armed forces to reassert sovereignty.
Separately, reporting around the signing emphasizes that the agreement’s pilot elements involve Lebanese forces taking control of specific occupied areas, alongside an implementation process for verified disarmament before further steps can proceed.
