Israel and Hezbollah Reportedly Close to Ceasefire Agreement
Negotiations between Israel and Hezbollah are in the final stages, with a potential 60-day ceasefire deal on the horizon. According to the proposed agreement, Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon, and Hezbollah would retreat north of the Litani River. However, concerns about enforcing the ceasefire and Israel's insistence on the right to take military action in Lebanon remain. Despite the ongoing fighting, both sides are pushing for a resolution, with the Lebanese army expected to increase its presence in the ceasefire zone. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement on both sides since October 2023.
