US to play direct role in Lebanon agreement oversight, report says
The United States will directly monitor Lebanese and Israeli forces under a new framework agreement, according to a report citing an unnamed US official. US personnel already in Lebanon since 2024 will track potential violations, with US Central Command documenting incidents for the Trump administration to enable diplomatic intervention, though the commander will not directly oversee either side's activities.
