US President Joe Biden has announced a ceasefire deal to end 13 months of fighting between Israel and with Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia supported by Iran.
In a joint statement, the US and France said the agreement would cease fighting in Lebanon and “secure Israel from the threat of Hezbollah and other terrorist organisations”.
This is what we know about the ceasefire deal from official briefings and media reports.
Ceasfire deal between Israel and Hezbollah. Can't see how this is anything but short-term mission accomplished for Netanyahu – project strength, degrade Hezbollah, deter Iran, avoid getting bogged down in southern Lebanon, wait for Jan 20th https://t.co/FZ0CYAmV5B
