Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Begins After Months Of All-Out War

In a significant development in West Asia, Israel has agreed to a ceasefire with Lebanon. The agreement comes into effect at midnight (Israel time) on November 27.

Israel's Security Cabinet, the country's top decision-making body under the government has agreed to the ceasefire. "The length of the ceasefire depends on what happens in Lebanon. We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation. We will continue united until victory," Prime Minister Netanyahu said in his speech after the agreement.

"We will complete the task of obliterating Hamas, we will bring home all of our hostages, we will ensure that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel and we will return the residents of the north back home safely. The war will not end until we realize all its goals, including the return of the residents of the north safely home. And I tell you, it will happen, just like it happened in the south," Mr Netanyahu added.
