Israel, Lebanon and the United States signed the trilateral framework agreement on Friday following several days of talks to secure an end to the long ongoing war between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.
Lebanese Ambassador Nada Moawad and her Israeli counterpart Yechiel Leiter signed the trilateral document with the US at the State Department in Washington, Reuters reported.
Before signing of the agreement, US Secretary of state Marco Rubio said, “Today we’ve taken the first step in what will be a difficult journey, without a doubt, but an important and an essential and a necessary one.”
