The United States will play a direct role in monitoring the movements of Lebanese and Israeli forces under the new framework agreement, according to The Washington Post, which cited an unnamed US official.

Lebanon, Israel and the United States on June 26 signed a trilateral framework agreement aimed at paving the way for a peace deal between the two long-time Middle East adversaries.

The U.S.-Israel-Lebanon agreement outlines disarmament plans and troop withdrawal for lasting peace and security in the region.
