Israel and Lebanon hail Washington deal, rejected by Hezbollah

Israel and Lebanon have expressed support for a new agreement brokered by the United States aimed at fostering peace between the two nations, signaling a potential shift in the Middle East conflict. However, Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has dismissed the deal, claiming it undermines broader conflict resolution efforts. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that this trilateral framework marks the start of a path to lasting peace and security. The deal's success could reshape regional dynamics, but Hezbollah's opposition poses a significant challenge to its implementation and broader conflict resolution.
