I read the Lebanese-Israeli framework agreement carefully (see comments for full text). I break it down, article by article, below (pay special attention to articles 2, 4, 8 and 9).
Overall, just a terrible, shameful agreement, especially when the far better alternative of leaning into the US-Iran MoU was available (and we haven't even seen the "security annex" yet, which I'm sure reflects even more sovereignty-enhancing measures for the Lebanese govt).
Preamble and Article 1:
In essence, Lebanon agrees to recognize Israel, to end the technical state of war between them (ongoing since 1948), and pledges to normalize relations through future agreements. Keep in mind that normalization is only supported by a small minority of the country, with overwhelming opposition to it.
Article 2:
The sequenced process referred to in this article is Hizb disarmament first before Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory (that this is envisioned to happen in stages or via "pilot zones" makes no difference, as the sequence remains the same: first disarmament then withdrawal from a particular territory). This of course won't happen short of civil war.
Instead of leaning into US-Iran MoU that demanded Israeli withdrawal tout cours, the Lebanese govt has essentially legitimized occupation by making Israeli withdrawal contingent on Hizb disarmament (so no disarmament = continued occupation). This is also contrary to international law, which doesn't sequence withdrawal from occupied territory on disarmament of resistance groups. The Lebanese govt is willfully and foolishly throwing away leverage, because "sovereignty" apparently.
Article 3:
This article explicitly conditions reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure and return of civilians to their homes in any area under occupation on disarmament of Hizb and "dismantlement of their infrastructure" (to be executed incrementally via "pilot zones"). It's unclear who is doing the disarming and dismantling and how (the IDF, the LAF, or both in unison), but this should become clearer upon publication of the security annex; but see article 4 below.
Article 4:
Makes clear that the onus is on the Lebanese govt to "achieve the complete and verified disarmament" of Hizb. Again, this won't happen short of civil war, which Israel has been trying to foment in Lebanon since the beginning of the war.
Article 5:
We're supposed to believe that Israel has "no territorial ambitions in Lebanon", when several Israeli ministers and lawmakers have insisted otherwise, and Israel has formally conditioned their withdrawal from Lebanese territory on Hizb disarmament by the Lebanese govt first, which they know cannot happen.
Article 6:
Lebanese govt explicitly calls Hizballah military activities illegal and outside of the Law. This reiterates the govt's previous position, but by virtue of stating it within this broader Lebanese-Israeli framework, reinforces the view that the Lebanese govt is aligned with Israel in eliminating Hizb (as an armed actor).
Article 7:
Iterates the "right to self-defense" for Lebanon and Israel. We all know what the "right to self defense" means for Israel. They invoked their right to "self-defense" to commit genocide in Gaza, and had the temerity to invoke their right to "self defense" when Hizb recently killed 4 Israeli soldiers advancing within occupied Lebanese land to justify bombing dozens of Lebanese towns.
Article 8:
Notice how subtle but dangerous this language is in this article. The Lebanese govt is essentially affirming that Hizb poses a threat to Lebanon or to citizens of Lebanon. They've essentially declared Hizb, not Israel, as the enemy. Where does that leave Hizb supporters, which constitute a large segment of the Lebanese population?
Article 9 and 10:
The Lebanese govt commits to a "performance-based program" to disarm Hizb and accepts that any new US assistance is contingent on achieving milestones. This, apparently, is "sovereignty" according to the Lebanese govt. They're on probation and graduate only according to US (and presumably Israeli) performance reviews, with reconstruction funds and economic aid being dangled as carrots. Utter humiliation.
Article 11:
Intent is to strangle Hizb financially, with the US govt working with the Lebanese govt to ensure that.
Article 12:
Commitment to comprehensive "peace" agreement, which I interpret as a normalization agreement, although not crystal clear from this article. If so, this will be rejected by vast majority of country.
Article 13:
Another example of Lebanese govt volunteering to throw away any leverage by, for e.g., forgoing the option to accept the ICC's jurisdiction to investigate Israeli war crimes or to file formal complaints and letters against Israel with the UNSC.
Article 14:
The obligatory reference to thanking DJT
/END.
The Israeli occupation has a long history of systematic abuse and torture of Palestinian detainees, which has only intensified since October 7, 2023.
For instance, the Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office has reported that "Israel" is using starvation to extract confessions from Palestinian detainees, with scabies spreading and systematic abuse escalating inside Nafha Prison.
While the Prisoners' Media Office has called on international human rights organizations to intervene and pressure the Israeli occupation to end its violations against Palestinian prisoners, international human rights organizations continue to document numerous cases of torture, medical neglect, and arbitrary detention of Palestinians in Israeli jails.

اللبنانيين عشان يثبتوا استقلاليتهم ورفضهم الوصاية الإيرانية رفضوا تفاوض إيران عنهم واتفاقها اللي تضمن انسحاب كامل من الجنوب ووقف كامل لإطلاق النار.. وعملوا اتفاق ما بيعطيهم نص شبر ونتنياهو بقول فيه علنًا "لن يعود اللبنانيون إلى الجنوب".

The account of @oliveegirl, the most dedicated person on this hellhole app, sharing overlooked Gaza campaigns relentlessly, was unjustly suspended for exposing a predator sexually harassing women in Gaza online, following a defamation and mass-reporting campaign by malicious doxxer @jgyuvfytchq91 / @ireallyfuckyou and the rest of @umaymohamed's cyberbullying gang.
Some generous souls even gifted Olive Premium X just so she could reach more people who could donate. Yet, the paid feature didn't protect her account. Now, the families in Gaza Olive was supporting have no reach or engagement whatsoever. Their actual lifelines have been cut because of some petty shit by narcissist infiltrators.
Does anyone happen to know someone working for X, who might be able to help lift this unconscionable suspension?
Or, in Olive's absence, does anyone know of a big/bigger account who could help share the small campaigns being promoted by @OliveCampaigns? Actual people's lives depend on it, and we can't allow malicious Zionist actors to keep hurting more genocide victims in Gaza. If you have any idea how to help, please comment or DM me.

تكشف مسودة قرار مسرّبة أن “مجلس السلام” المكلّف بإدارة غزة يخطط لمنح نفسه حصانة قانونية شاملة، إلى جانب صلاحية الاستحواذ على الممتلكات العامة في القطاع دون أي مقابل مادي.
وبحسب المسودة، تمتد الحصانة لتشمل أعضاء المجلس، وإدارته، والتكنوقراط العاملين معه، والقوات الدولية، والمقاولين الأجانب، بما يحصّنهم من أي ملاحقة أمام الجهات القضائية في غزة، ويثير تساؤلات خطيرة بشأن مستقبل أراضي وممتلكات القطاع وإمكانية فرض واقع جديد بعيدًا عن أي مساءلة قانونية
زرتُ اليوم مخيم إيواء حلاوة شرقي جباليا ..
أعددتُ هذا التقرير المؤلم وفي نفسي أُقر أن ما جاء فيه ليس إلا جزءاً بسيطا من فصول المعاناة التي يعيشها حوالي 10 آلاف يعيشون فيه
يكابدون النزوح وشظف العيش وفوق ذلك .. الموت الذي يتخطفهم من المواقع الاسرائيلية
هذا نموذج لما يقاسيه قرابة مليون وسبعمئة الف نازح في الخيام على مستوى قطاع غزة
A shocking statement from Israeli journalist Raviv Drucker, host of a popular program on Israel’s Channel 13:
“The Israeli plan in Lebanon is to divide the country and plunge it into a civil war in order to force the Lebanese government to confront Hezbollah militarily!”

Earlier today, Israeli settlers flooded Palestinian farmland with wastewater in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, causing extensive damage to agricultural crops.
هذه هي إسرائيل التي تكالبت السلطة اللبنانية على الاعتراف بها.
يقيم إسرائيليون شاشات عرض في الهواء الطلق لبثّ مشاهد تدمير بلدات لبنانية بأكملها وتحويلها إلى أنقاض على يد الجيش الإسرائيلي، ويهتفون ويصفقون أثناء ذلك.
هؤلاء مدنيون عاديون، وليسوا جنودًا أو مسؤولين، يجتمعون للتصفيق للدمار والموت.
