Framework agreement between Israel, Lebanon signed, Rubio says

Israel and Lebanon are engaged in US-facilitated talks in Washington over a proposal that would see Israeli forces gradually hand over parts of southern Lebanon to the Lebanese Armed Forces. The plan centers on defined "pilot zones" where US-vetted and trained Lebanese troops would take control before moving on to the next area. Israel has said it intends to eventually withdraw to the Litani River, roughly 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, while maintaining a buffer zone along it.
