President Joe Biden announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States. This agreement aims to end hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, which have escalated in recent months, causing significant regional tension and civilian displacement. The ceasefire, which began on November 27, 2024, is intended to provide space for diplomatic discussions to reach a more permanent resolution, consistent with United Nations Security Council resolutions.
Both parties, supported by international partners, are expected to uphold the ceasefire and work towards easing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. This move is part of broader efforts to stabilize the region amid ongoing conflicts, including the war in Gaza.
