Ceasefire Agreement in the Middle East

A significant ceasefire agreement has been reached between Israel and Hezbollah, allowing civilians from both sides to return safely to their communities after weeks of conflict. The truce is set to last for 60 days and will see the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) withdraw from southern Lebanon and refrain from implementing a buffer zone. This development results from intensive negotiations involving the Biden administration and France, highlighting the coordinated international effort to stabilize the region. However, questions remain about the enforceability of the ceasefire, as Israel reserves the right to strike Hezbollah if deemed necessary, raising concerns about the longevity of this peace.
