Summary

President Biden announced a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, effective Wednesday, ending over a year of deadly conflict that killed nearly 3,800 in Lebanon and displaced over 1.2 million.

The deal requires Hezbollah to pull forces 20 miles from Israel’s border, Israeli troop withdrawals within 60 days, and joint patrols by Lebanese forces and UN peacekeepers.

Biden emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense if terms are violated.

France supported implementation efforts, while Iran and Trump’s team were briefed.

Fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza remains unresolved.

    Please Mr smarter than everyone explain how him letting Israel do everything they want didn’t contribute. Especially as they’ve been escalating this entire time

      There you go redefining again

      Some of us are old enough to remember Trump’s 2016 campaign where his messaging was to carpet bomb all of the Muslim nations in the Middle East

      Others know what nations at war are capable of when the higher power behind them give the green light. We know Biden wasn’t letting Israel do as they please

          Show me where Israel has used nuclear weapons

          Show me the crater where Palestine was

          They can track who buys pagers in a different country, arm them, then detonate remotely. Do you really think there would be anything left of Palestinians if Netty had free reign?
