Rubio Tells Lebanese Prime Minister Framework Is Only Path To Durable Peace With Israel

Salam pressed for a verification mechanism and concrete steps after the June framework stalled, with Israel still refusing to withdraw, officials said.

  • On Monday, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington to address the stalled Lebanese-Israeli framework agreement signed in June.
  • The framework agreement has not progressed adequately; the seventh round of negotiations in Rome failed to resolve disagreements as Israel refuses to withdraw from Lebanese territory.
  • Salam urged Washington to translate the agreement into "concrete measures" and "tangible outcomes," demanding a "full Israeli withdrawal" and placing all weapons "under state authority."
  • Additionally, Rubio reaffirmed U.S. commitment to supporting Lebanon and the Lebanese Army, while Salam requested a "credible verification mechanism" to monitor implementation of commitments.
  • Negotiations may resume in Rome during early October's eighth round, though progress remains uncertain amid renewed tensions between Washington and Tehran over the Strait of Hormuz.
