    Israel, Hezbollah Agree To Ceasefire After US, France Intervention

    A ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah began on Wednesday after United States President Joe Biden announced that both sides accepted an agreement brokered by America and France.

    This is as gunfire could be heard across Beirut after the ceasefire took effect.

    Although it was not immediately clear if the shooting was celebratory, as gunfire had also been used to alert residents who may have missed evacuation warnings issued by Israel’s military.

    Streams of cars carrying people displaced from southern Lebanon by Israeli strikes in recent months began heading back to the area after the ceasefire, according to Reuters.

    The ceasefire promises to end a conflict across the Israeli-Lebanese border that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year.

    A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect at 0200 GMT on Wednesday after President Biden said both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the United States and France.

    Biden spoke at the White House on Tuesday shortly after Israel’s security cabinet approved the agreement in a 10-1 vote.

    He said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, and that fighting would end at 4 a.m. local time.

    “This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” Biden said.

    “What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organisations will not be allowed to threaten the security of Israel again.”

    Biden said Israel will gradually withdraw its forces over 60 days as Lebanon’s army takes control of territory near its border with Israel to ensure that Hezbollah does not rebuild its infrastructure there.

    “Civilians on both sides will soon be able to safely return to their communities,” he added.

    Hezbollah has not formally commented on the ceasefire but senior official Hassan Fadlallah told Lebanon’s Al Jadeed TV that while it supported the extension of the Lebanese state’s authority, the group would emerge from the war stronger.

    “Thousands will join the resistance. Disarming the resistance was an Israeli proposal that fell through,” said Fadlallah, who is also a member of Lebanon’s parliament.

    Iran, which backs Hezbollah, the Palestinian group Hamas as well as the Houthi rebels that have attacked Israel from Yemen, said it welcomed the ceasefire.

    French President Emmanuel Macron said on X (formerly Twitter) that the deal was “the culmination of efforts undertaken for many months with the Israeli and Lebanese authorities, in close collaboration with the United States.”
