Lebanon, Israel and the US said in a joint statement on the 3rd that Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a ceasefire provided HEZBOLLAH fully stops attacks and withdraws completely south of the Litani River. Israel's defense minister KATZ said the Washington framework also calls for disarming HEZBOLLAH, removing its fighters from south of the Litani, keeping the IDF in a "security zone", and guaranteeing Israel's freedom of action.

On the 3rd, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee that negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have stalled in recent months and carry a real risk of escalation. He said the conflict cannot be resolved by military means and must be settled diplomatically, but that route has not produced results to date. Both sides appear unwilling to make the concessions required for a deal, he said. Russia retains long-range strike capabilities and Ukraine can retaliate in kind, making the risk of escalation real and more tangible than two years ago.
