Legal steps following Lebanon-Israel agreement
The framework agreement signed by Lebanon with Israel in Washington has become a subject of political and constitutional controversy within Lebanon. There are differing opinions regarding its legitimacy and the constitutional procedures required for its approval. While the government considers it an achievement and is moving toward implementing the agreement, the Shia duo (Hezbollah and its allies) believe that the agreement is unenforceable and must be annulled through legal and constitutional channels, based on certain articles of the Lebanese Constitution that regulate the process of ratifying international treaties. The debate revolves around whether the signing and approval procedures for the agreement require the approval of the Parliament, and how to approach it—whether as a non-binding framework agreement or as a treaty with legal commitments imposed on Lebanon.
