Ceasefire Agreement in Lebanon
A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah has been initiated, aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. This agreement, brokered by the U.S. and France, has been celebrated in southern Lebanese cities as locals express hope for peace and return to their homes. Under the terms, Israel will withdraw its forces over the next 60 days while the Lebanese army assumes control to prevent Hezbollah from regrouping. However, the ceasefire raises concerns for Palestinians in Gaza, who feel left behind without a similar agreement with Hamas, leading to fears of intensified violence in their region.
