Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Deal Takes Effect in Lebanon
After 14 months of conflict, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah has officially come into effect. The Israeli Cabinet has approved the deal, which aims to halt hostilities and allows displaced residents to return to their homes in southern Lebanon. U.S. President Biden has announced plans for a ceasefire, with international stakeholders like the UN welcoming the development. However, challenges remain, as tensions linger with Israel retaining the right to military action against Hezbollah. Experts express concerns about the sustainability of the ceasefire, emphasizing the need for careful management to avoid reverting to violence. As the ceasefire takes hold, both sides are assessing the implications for future relations and regional stability.
