Ceasefire Agreement Between Israel and Hezbollah

A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is set to take effect after more than two months of intense conflict, which resulted in thousands of fatalities and substantial displacement of civilians. The deal requires both parties to withdraw from the fighting areas within 60 days, with Israeli forces returning from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah retreating to the north of the Litani River. To ensure compliance, the United States will lead a monitoring committee involving France and other nations, although Israel retains the right to act independently if it perceives violations. This agreement is hoped to alleviate pressure on the situation in Gaza as well, promoting a broader push towards peace.
