· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with the ambassadors of Israel and Lebanon, announced on Friday a framework agreement described as a first step toward peace following months of conflict between Israel and the Lebanese political-military group Hezbollah. The officials did not share details of the agreement, which was signed by Yechiel Leiter, Israel's ambassador to the United States, and Nada Hamadeh, Lebanon's ambassador to the United States. Hamadeh explained that the framework agreement 'is a first step on the path to restoring Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity, ensuring a permanent and definitive cessation of hostilities, allowing our people to return to their land, and enabling all Lebanese to live in peace, security, and prosperity.' Leiter stated that the ultimate goal of the framework agreement is peace between the two countries. 'Real peace, where both countries will live in security, where the sovereignty of Israel and Lebanon will be respected, honored, and protected,' Leiter said. 'In this trilateral framework agreement based on performance, Iran is out. Hezbollah is out. And the path to peace between Israel and Lebanon is in.'
