President Biden announces Israel Hezbollah ceasefire. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS

[Rhiannon12866]

Joe Biden cheered the historic ceasefire agreement as a critical step that he hoped could be the catalyst for a broader peace in the Middle East, which has been shaken by nearly 14 months of war following Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

“This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” Biden said. “What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed — I emphasize, will not be allowed — to threaten the security of Israel again.” - 11/26/2024.

6. How Long Will This One Last For?

Here is a summary of the major ceasefires between Israel and Hezbollah, with their dates and durations:

1. 1983 Agreement

Date: May 17, 1983

Duration: Short-lived, effectively collapsed by early 1984 due to internal Lebanese opposition and lack of enforcement.



2. April Understanding (1996)

Date: April 27, 1996

Duration: Held intermittently for a few years but was often violated. It followed the Operation Grapes of Wrath conflict and created "rules of engagement" rather than a formal ceasefire.



3. 2000 Withdrawal Agreement

Date: May 24, 2000

Duration: Resulted in relative calm after Israel's unilateral withdrawal from southern Lebanon. This lasted until 2006, with sporadic clashes.



4. 2006 Ceasefire (UN Resolution 1701)

Date: August 14, 2006

Duration: Largely held for years, marking the end of the 34-day conflict known as the Second Lebanon War. Violations have occurred on both sides, but no large-scale conflicts have resumed.
