President Joe Biden announced a breakthrough ceasefire deal on Tuesday to end the violence in Lebanon. The deal aims to bring peace to the region while ensuring Israel's right to self-defense if threatened by Hezbollah or any other party.
President Biden emphasized that Israel retains the right to self-defense under international law if the ceasefire agreement is violated. The deal is seen as a positive step towards a new beginning for Lebanon, allowing the nation to maintain its sovereignty.
Notably, the agreement does not involve the deployment of US troops to southern Lebanon, indicating a diplomatic approach to resolving the conflict.
In his statement, President Biden also expressed concern for the people of Gaza, stating that they deserve an end to the ongoing fighting and displacement. Israeli strikes in Gaza have continued, prompting calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The ceasefire deal is expected to bring relief to the people of Lebanon and pave the way for stability in the region. President Biden's announcement signals a commitment to diplomatic efforts in addressing the longstanding tensions in the Middle East.
