Israel and Lebanon take bold step amid Hezbollah threat

Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement under U.S. auspices, which includes a plan to de-escalate tensions along the border, along with efforts to strengthen Lebanese sovereignty and disarm Hezbollah. The agreement comes amid protests by Hezbollah supporters in Beirut and Israeli calls to address Hezbollah's military buildup and dismantle the group. The deal outlines mechanisms for implementing a ceasefire, reducing Hezbollah's influence, and aims to restore stability and security in the region.
