- Israel's defence minister declared troops would remain 'indefinitely' in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza
- Israel and Lebanon signed a U.S.-sponsored framework agreement on June 26 to pave the way for peace between the two countries and disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah
Why it matters: Israel signed a U.S.-sponsored peace framework with Lebanon on June 26 while its defence minister declared troops would remain 'indefinitely' across Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza — leaving the scope of Israel's military footprint and Hezbollah disarmament both unresolved by the deal.
