The proposal includes initial Lebanese recognition of Israel, commitments to respect territorial integrity, and plans for Hezbollah disarmament verified by UN peacekeepers. The plan envisions a non-aggression agreement between Lebanon and Israel, potentially concluding the state of war that has persisted since 1948.
