Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi has said he received a call from his Jordanian counterpart, Ayman Safadi, who congratulated him on Lebanon’s signing of the US-mediated framework agreement with Israel, Al Jazeera reports.

Safadi “expressed his hope that the agreement would advance the interests of Lebanon”, including reasserting its sovereignty and restore stability,” Raggi said on X.

“In turn, I thanked him for Jordan’s steadfast support for Lebanon and reaffirmed that this agreement marks a victory for diplomacy and for the authority of the State and its institutions above all else.”
