New Middle East peace deal: What happens next in Lebanon-Israel conflict
US-backed deal stops most serious fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in two decades. Both sides keep their positions while warning about following safety rules
A ground-breaking peace deal between Israel and Hezbollah started working early on wed morning‚ putting an end to the worst military conflict in Lebanon since early 2000s
Benjamin Netanyahu made clear statements before the deal went active: Israel would hit back if Hezbollah breaks the rules. Both sides told people to stay away from danger-zones but some locals didnt listen to these warnings (which could lead to safety problems)
The deal has US support behind it; a high-ranking official from Joe Bidens team shared with media that Israeli military units will keep their spots – no quick pull-back is planned. The peace terms include a two-month no-fighting window which should grow into something bigger: a long-term solution
This agreement represents our vision for a permanent cessation of hostilities
The deal came after complex talks between all sides – its goal is to bring stability to an area that has seen too much fighting in past decades. Local people hope this time the peace will last longer than previous attempts
