The breakthrough comes amid months of heightened tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, where cross-border exchanges of fire and military operations have raised fears of a broader regional conflict. The United States has been actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation and encourage a negotiated path forward.
The announcement also follows sustained US mediation aimed at stabilising the frontier and building on previous agreements between the two countries.
"We are happy to announce a framework agreement between the sovereign government of Lebanon and of course the government of Israel, with a mediation and support of the United States of America," U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the signing ceremony.
The agreement "begins to put in place a framework for lasting peace and security," Rubio added.
