Nothing the Lebanese government agrees to matters. Hezbollah isn't going to abide by it, and neither are the Israelis in turn.

PM Netanyahu: “Citizens of Israel, before the Sabbath begins, I want to announce to you a great achievement for the State of Israel. You know that we are conducting negotiations in Washington between representatives of Israel, Lebanon, and the United States. Prolonged negotiations, and today they bore fruit.

The most important thing is that, first of all, Israel remains in the security zone in southern Lebanon. This is a great achievement, and we are maintaining it as long as Hezbollah does not disarm, as long as there is a danger to the State of Israel.

This is also a great blow to Iran. Iran is trying to force us to withdraw from southern Lebanon by force. And in essence, Israel, Lebanon, and the United States are telling them - this is none of your business. You have no role in Lebanon—neither you nor Hezbollah nor any terrorist organization.

The other thing, of course, is that we are allowing the Lebanese army to begin organizing to seize territory. We are creating two pilot zones. Both are on the IDF's recommendation. And one is outside the security zone altogether, it's south of the Litani, and the other is north of the Litani, a small part of it in the expanded security zone that we achieved in the last two weeks, and that the IDF doesn't need it - he says it most clearly.

We are constantly maintaining the original security zone outside the range of anti-tank missiles. We are not allowing Hezbollah to enter there, nor the population. That is being maintained. And the most important thing is that Israel says, "Our security comes first."

Is Hezbollah a signatory?

If not, don't care.
