United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced a deal framework between Lebanon and Israel after negotiations in Washington, DC.
Details about the agreement remain scarce. But in his remarks on Friday, Rubio made clear that the deal was only the “first step” in further negotiations.
“It’s the beginning of the beginning,” Rubio said, surrounded by representatives from both Lebanon and Israel.
“There’s a lot of work ahead. We don’t in any way underestimate the difficulty of the task ahead, but we understand the importance of it, how vital it is.”
The two sides had gathered in Washington, DC, for three days of US-mediated talks this week, starting on Tuesday.
