Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that he will recommend his ministers accept the ceasefire deal.

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.

    Mr. Biden said if Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, then Israel retains the right to self-defense.

    And if Israel breaks the deal then the Lebanese people have a right to self defense, too.

    I’m sure something will happen if they fail to withdraw within the 60 day deadline, right? Just like all the previous deadlines they failed to meet, right?

    All Israelis are interested in is global domination and enslaving humans. Wouldn’t trust them for a second.
