Israel-Lebanon Framework Faces Immediate Test: Hezbollah Rejects Deal, Lebanon Speaker Says It ‘Won’t Pass’

Today's lead: The US-Israel-Lebanon Trilateral Framework is already under assault — Hezbollah has rejected it as "surrender," Lebanon's parliament speaker says it "will not pass," and the IDF is still striking Hezbollah command centers in the south. Day one of implementation is a stress test.

Also tracking: Rep. Adam Smith, the top Democrat on House Armed Services, flipped to support stripping US-Israel defense cooperation from the NDAA — a sharp reversal that exposes how far Israel has slipped in Democratic defense circles. And Scott Wiener, the front-runner for Pelosi's seat, was physically surrounded and harassed at SF's Trans March over Gaza.

In the wire: Colorado's anti-Israel DSA insurgents vote today; Massie's Israel aid cut amendment draws Dem alarm; Iran uses the ceasefire window to send assets to Doha talks while Houthis upgrade missiles; and Mamdani tells ABC he can't say he supports Israel as a Jewish state.
