Netanyahu Backs Ceasefire Deal with Hezbollah After Year-Long Conflict

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a proposed ceasefire with Hizbollah, aiming to end a year-long conflict between Israel and the Lebanese militant group. The deal, which requires approval from both Israel's cabinet and Lebanon's caretaker government, allows Israel to maintain military action if Hizbollah violates the agreement. The announcement follows intensified Israeli military actions in Lebanon and hopes to conclude one of the bloodiest conflicts in decades, which has resulted in significant casualties and displacement on both sides.
