Israel and Hezbollah Agree to Ceasefire as Lebanon Faces Post-War Reconstruction
A ceasefire agreement has been reached to end months of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, with Israel set to gradually withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon over the next 60 days. The Lebanese Army and state security forces will take control of the region, President Joe Biden announced.
The conflict, which began on October 8, 2023, has displaced over 300,000 Lebanese and forced 70,000 Israelis to live as refugees in their own country. Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati welcomed the deal, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense if the truce is violated.
In a joint statement, Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron pledged support for enforcing the agreement and strengthening Lebanon’s Armed Forces, alongside initiatives for the country’s economic recovery.
Hezbollah, which did not directly participate in the negotiations mediated by Lebanese parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri, has yet to issue a statement on the truce.
The conflict has claimed the lives of at least 3,768 Lebanese and injured 15,699, leaving Lebanon grappling with the aftermath of war.
