Summary

President Biden announced a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, effective Wednesday, ending over a year of deadly conflict that killed nearly 3,800 in Lebanon and displaced over 1.2 million.

The deal requires Hezbollah to pull forces 20 miles from Israel’s border, Israeli troop withdrawals within 60 days, and joint patrols by Lebanese forces and UN peacekeepers.

Biden emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense if terms are violated.

France supported implementation efforts, while Iran and Trump’s team were briefed.

Fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza remains unresolved.

    Oh well that absoves Biden of everything then!

    Him allowing Israel to anything they want definitely didn’t do anything to increase hostilities in the area…

      There’s a big difference between “everything” and being the reason for a conflict

      Your initial statement was just a falsehood that makes it harder for everyone smarter than you to defend Palestinians

        Please Mr smarter than everyone explain how him letting Israel do everything they want didn’t contribute. Especially as they’ve been escalating this entire time

          There you go redefining again

          Some of us are old enough to remember Trump’s 2016 campaign where his messaging was to carpet bomb all of the Muslim nations in the Middle East

          Others know what nations at war are capable of when the higher power behind them give the green light. We know Biden wasn’t letting Israel do as they please

            And there you go calling everyone else an idiot child.

            Please show us where Biden has done anything to reign them in. Fuck he even went behind Obama and Hilarys back to let Israel and bibi get out of restraining

              Show me where Israel has used nuclear weapons

              Show me the crater where Palestine was

              They can track who buys pagers in a different country, arm them, then detonate remotely. Do you really think there would be anything left of Palestinians if Netty had free reign?
