Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire: The year-long war between Israel and Hezbollah has ended. Both sides have agreed to a 60-day ceasefire. Ceasefire has started from today. But, now the question is, how did Netanyahu finally agree to this ceasefire effort that has been going on for months?

Israel signs ceasefire agreement
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet has approved a ceasefire with the Lebanese radical group Hezbollah. The Cabinet gave the green signal to the US mediated ceasefire plan by ten votes. However, before this Netanyahu addressed the country.

In his address, Netanyahu said that Israel has agreed to a 60-day ceasefire with Hezbollah. Nothing has been decided yet on whether it will be extended or not. At present this is a temporary ceasefire.

Netanyahu gave three reasons

Prime Minister Netanyahu said that a ceasefire with Hezbollah is the need of the hour. Because, Israel’s army now wants to focus on the challenge from Iran. The second reason is the need to restock the Israeli military’s weapons stockpile.

Netanyahu said that there is nothing to hide that the delivery of weapons and explosives was very late. We will have to provide more advanced weapons, so that our soldiers remain safe and we can retaliate with double the force.

Giving the third reason, Netanyahu said that the ceasefire with Hezbollah is also a strategy to divide Hamas. Hamas was dependent on Hezbollah from the beginning. He was taking the help of Hezbollah in the war. Now after the ceasefire with Hezbollah it will disintegrate. In such a situation, if Hezbollah violates the terms of the ceasefire and helps Hamas, Israel will also retaliate.

What are the terms of the ceasefire?

Under the ceasefire agreement, Israeli troops are to withdraw from southern Lebanon and the Lebanese Army is to redeploy to the area. Hezbollah will also eliminate its armed presence on the southern border of the Litani River. Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdullah said the Lebanese army is ready to deploy at least 5,000 troops to southern Lebanon upon the withdrawal of Israeli troops.

Netanyahu says the length of the ceasefire depends on what happens in Lebanon. If Hezbollah violates the agreement and tries to arm itself for war, we will attack. If he tries to re-establish terrorism infrastructure near the border, we will attack. Even if he launches rockets, if he digs tunnels or brings trucks carrying rockets, we will attack.
