Summary
President Biden announced a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, effective Wednesday, ending over a year of deadly conflict that killed nearly 3,800 in Lebanon and displaced over 1.2 million.
The deal requires Hezbollah to pull forces 20 miles from Israel’s border, Israeli troop withdrawals within 60 days, and joint patrols by Lebanese forces and UN peacekeepers.
Biden emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense if terms are violated.
France supported implementation efforts, while Iran and Trump’s team were briefed.
Fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza remains unresolved.
Is it only young people commenting under this post? Everyone is so skeptical as if Hezbollah and Israel haven’t gone through this numerous times in the past.
Will it last forever? It never has before. Will it dramatically reduce hostilities for a period of time? Very likely.
