Summary
A US decision to withhold the text from Israel came days before a Switzerland signing ceremony, leaving Israeli officials without access to the newly agreed memorandum.
Trump said Tuesday he would read the deal “word for word,” but the MOU’s contents remain unpublished despite reports it contains 14 clauses.
Reported provisions include an IDF withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the release of about $24 billion in sanctioned funds.
Lebanon remains the main uncertainty: Israeli officials have not confirmed any pullback, while Hezbollah said Iran assured it future US talks would press for an Israeli withdrawal.
