A US official has confirmed the specific terms of the agreement to halt combat operations between Israel and Lebanon, which was sponsored by President Donald Trump. The agreement clearly stipulates that Israel must refrain from initiating any "offensive" actions against Lebanon. In return, the text emphasizes that Israel retains the right to take action on the ground under a "self-defense" clause if it detects imminent threats or ongoing attacks. This framework is designed to ensure Israel's border security during the 10-day period scheduled for broader negotiations.
