Israel and Lebanon Agree to Ceasefire Amidst Hezbollah Rejection
Israel and Lebanon have agreed to renew a ceasefire, brokered by the U.S., aimed at ending hostilities and creating Lebanese security zones. The agreement requires a complete cessation of fire from Hezbollah and the evacuation of its operatives from southern Lebanon. Despite the ceasefire, Hezbollah has rejected the plan, calling it a 'roadmap to annihilate part of the Lebanese people.' The Lebanese government, negotiating without Hezbollah, aims to reassert control over the country. The ceasefire is part of broader U.S. efforts to separate the conflict from the Iran war and establish peace in the region.
