in Washington on Friday, following five rounds of talks hosted by US President Donald Trump's administration.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called it "the beginning of the beginning" in remarks to reporters moments before the signing.
He later revealed in a written statement that the US would commit $100m in "humanitarian assistance in coordination with the UN" for affected communities, though he did not specify whether it was just for Lebanon or also for northern Israeli border towns.
The Lebanese Armed Forces, Rubio said, would be "reimbursed" by the Trump administration to the tune of $30m.
"This agreement establishes a clear and structured process to restore Lebanon's sovereignty, disarm Hezbollah and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure, and enable Israel to return to its borders once that threat to its citizens is removed," Rubio said.

Introduction
The Lebanon-Israel Framework Agreement of June 2026 is a sovereignty-for-security bargain. It offers Lebanon a route to reclaim its territory and political authority while giving Israel a process for removing Hezbollah’s military threat from the border. Its promise is historic; its weakness is obvious. For the agreement to endure, the Lebanese state, not Hezbollah, must control Lebanese land.
Historically, this agreement is potentially a turning point in Lebanese-Israeli relations. Earlier arrangements reached pieces of what this framework attempts, but none offered one, sequenced plan combining mutual recognition; direct, bilateral negotiations; Hezbollah disarmament; Lebanese state sovereignty; Israeli withdrawal; U.S. verification; and international reconstruction.
The agreement is promising in scope. It does not merely freeze violence or settle a boundary issue; it proposes a three-country commitment to h…

Framing · 3 — loaded language surfaced (spin shown, not adopted)
bangkokpost
“Lebanon, Israel and US sign framework pact”
→ Uses the term "pact" which can carry a connotation of a binding, perhaps more solemn, agreement.
nypost
“icing out Iran and its proxy group Hezbollah”
→ The verb "icing out" is a vivid, possibly pejorative expression.
hindustantimes
“‘First step towards peace’: Israel, Lebanon sign framework agreement with US; Hezbollah warns of civil war”
→ The headline frames the agreement as a "first step towards peace" while also highlighting a warning of civil war, adding a sense of urgency.
