Joe Biden announces Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal agreed

US President Joe Biden has announced that a ceasefire deal has been agreed upon between Israel and Hezbollah. The agreement is set to take effect at 04:00 local time on Wednesday 27 November, according to Biden.

This announcement comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel has also agreed to a ceasefire deal to bring an end to the fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon. The conflict began almost two months ago when Israeli troops launched a land invasion of Lebanon in response to nearly a year of rocket attacks from Hezbollah.

The ceasefire deal marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, providing a glimmer of hope for a peaceful resolution to the violence that has plagued the region. With tensions running high and lives at stake, the agreement signifies a step towards de-escalation and potentially paving the way for future negotiations between the two sides.

As both countries navigate the aftermath of the ceasefire, the world will be closely watching to see if the agreement holds and whether it can bring about a lasting peace in the region. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
