WASHINGTON, June 26 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that the framework agreement reached with Israel and Lebanon establishes a clear process to restore Lebanon’s sovereignty, disarm Hezbollah and dismantle its infrastructure.
The agreement enables Israel to return to its borders once the threat to its citizens is removed and creates a trilateral Military Coordination Group for Lebanon, facilitated by the United States, Rubio said in a statement.
