Lebanon-Israel Deal Sparks Tension

Lebanon and Israel have signed a controversial framework deal brokered in Washington, tying Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon to Hezbollah’s disarmament — a potential path to peace after decades of conflict. But Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem calls it a “humiliation,” vowing to keep fighting until Israel leaves, while protests erupt in Beirut and Israeli drones strike near Nabatiyeh. The agreement outlines phased Israeli withdrawals from “pilot zones” under Lebanese military control, with a secret security annex detailing troop movements — and Israel insists no withdrawal happens until Hezbollah disarms everywhere. Meanwhile, Israel releases detained workers, and Lebanon and the U.S. pledge to cut funding to non-state armed groups — a direct shot at Iran’s support for Hezbollah. Public opinion is divided: some see it as hope for peace, others as legitimizing Israel’s presence — and tensions remain high as the road ahead looks anything but smooth.
