WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stood alongside ambassadors from Israel and Lebanon on Friday to announce a framework agreement that officials are calling a first step toward ending months of conflict between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
The agreement was signed by Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, and Nada Hamadeh, Lebanon’s ambassador to the United States. However, officials did not disclose the specific details of what the framework contains.
