Per The Guardian:
Joe Biden has announced a highly anticipated ceasefire to end the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, in what he called a “historic” deal to end the 14-month-old war.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had endorsed an imminent ceasefire in the country’s war with the Lebanese group after his full cabinet approved the deal on Tuesday evening despite opposition from his far-right allies.
In televised remarks after the Israeli security cabinet met to vote on the proposal for a 60-day ceasefire, Netanyahu said he was ready to implement the deal, but added that Israel would retain “complete military freedom of action” in the event of an infringement by Hezbollah.
“We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation. Together, we will continue until victory,” Netanyahu said.

Per The Times of Israel:
A ceasefire to end hostilities between Israel and Lebanon will protect Israel from the threat of Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah and create the conditions for a “lasting calm,” US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron say.
“The announcement today will cease the fighting in Lebanon, and secure Israel from the threat of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations operating from Lebanon,” the two leaders say in a joint statement, adding that the deal “will create the conditions to restore lasting calm.”
The US and France will work “to ensure this arrangement is fully implemented” and lead international efforts for “capacity-building” of the Lebanese army, they add.
Does Joe Biden deserve any credit for the proposed Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal that he clearly played no part in making? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/oURkOct0gg
