Lebanese and Palestinian leaders agree that Lebanon won't be used as a launchpad to strike Israel

Lebanese and Palestinian leaders have agreed that Palestinian factions will not use Lebanon as a launchpad for attacks against Israel and will remove weapons not under Lebanese state control. The agreement, announced during Palestinian President Abbas's visit to Lebanon, aims to establish Lebanese authority, particularly in the south near the Israeli border, following recent escalations and airstrikes. The removal of weapons from the Palestinian refugee camps, which are outside Lebanese control and home to an estimated 200,000 Palestinians, presents a significant challenge, with the presence of various factions including Fatah, Hamas, and smaller Jihadi groups.
