Ceasefire Dynamics and Terms

A ceasefire deal has been established between Israel and Hezbollah, requiring both sides to retreat from the southern Lebanon area near the Latani River within 60 days. This agreement resembles UN Resolution 1701 from 2006, which had previously aimed to create peace after a lengthy conflict; however, it ultimately failed as Hezbollah gained control over the region. The role of the Lebanese army and the United Nations peacekeeping force, UNIFIL, will be crucial in monitoring the ceasefire, but historical weaknesses of the Lebanese military raise concerns about effectiveness. Although this ceasefire is a temporary solution, the conditions remain fragile, with immediate reports of violations from both parties revealing deep-seated mistrust and ongoing tension between them.
