Biden Announces Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Deal
A U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, effective immediately, has been announced by President Biden. The agreement, designed to permanently halt hostilities, includes a phased Israeli withdrawal over 60 days, contingent on Lebanese military deployment. Israel retains the right to self-defense against further threats, while the U.S. and partners will monitor implementation. This ceasefire aims to end the violence that has killed dozens in Israel and hundreds in Lebanon, displacing tens of thousands and causing billions of dollars in damages.
