Israel and Lebanon signed a framework peace agreement on Friday — icing out Iran and its proxy group Hezbollah — following four days of negotiations in Washington.
"In this performance-based trilateral framework agreement, Iran is out, Hezbollah is out, and the road to peace between Israel and Lebanon is in," Israeli ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter said at a signing ceremony.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the agreement as a "first step" to returning Lebanon to its prior prosperity before Hezbollah moved in and promoted terrorism.
