Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Begins Amid Calls for Lasting Peace
TL;DR Summary
A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has come into effect, ending a 14-month conflict, with U.S. President Joe Biden emphasizing the need for a permanent cessation of hostilities. The ceasefire, based on UN resolution 1701, requires Hezbollah to move its heavy weaponry north of the Litani River and Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon. Despite initial skepticism, residents have begun returning to their homes in southern Lebanon. The agreement, endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is seen as a diplomatic success for Biden as he prepares to leave office.
