Netanyahu called the U.S.-brokered deal a historic step, while Ben Gvir said Lebanon cannot be trusted to disarm Hezbollah.
- On Friday, Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered framework agreement in Washington to end the state of war, establishing a trial plan for Lebanese soldiers to reclaim territory and disarm Hezbollah.

- According to the agreement, Israel and Lebanon "declare their intent to conclusively end the conflict, address its underlying causes, and to therewith formally conclude any state of war between them," including a trial phase for Lebanese forces.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the deal a "historic achievement" and a "blow to Iran and Hezbollah," while National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir asserted "the state of Lebanon will not disarm Hezbollah."
