Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire expected to halt war in Lebanon within hours
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group appear set to halt the war that has killed almost 3,800 people in Lebanon over the last year and left about 16,000 others wounded. President Biden is expected to announce Tuesday that the U.S. and France secured a ceasefire in Lebanon, ending the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, according to a U.S. official.

The full and permanent ceasefire would end the deadliest war in Lebanon since its civil war ended in 1990. 

Under the deal, a full and permanent ceasefire would be implemented immediately. There will be 60 days permitted for the full withdrawal of Israeli forces — a gradual withdrawal to allow the Lebanese forces to mobilize and move in to secure the area, but the trigger time is immediate, set to take effect later Tuesday. 

The first peel-off of Israeli troops was to begin within the next 10 days.

Hezbollah is expected to pull its forces and heavy weapons back about 20 miles from the Israeli border, to the Litani River.

An official in Netanyahu’s office told CBS News that the prime minister had convened the country’s security cabinet to discuss the proposal. The cabinet must approve any ceasefire agreement. Netanyahu was also holding meetings Tuesday in Tel Aviv with various government ministers, lawmakers, and mayors from some of the northern towns that have been evacuated for months.

Lebanon’s government also had to unilaterally approve the deal on Tuesday, but the U.S. official said that was expected.

Netanyahu was to address his country at 8 p.m. local time (1 p.m. Eastern) on Tuesday, according to his office, with Mr. Biden then delivering remarks about the agreement in Washington within a few hours.

Mr. Biden is expected to mention France when he speaks on Tuesday, according to a U.S. official. The French did not negotiate the deal, but will be part of its implementation.

President-elect Donald Trump’s team has been briefed and looks upon the plan favorably, according to the U.S. official. Iran has also been briefed given that Hezbollah is its proxy force. 

Hezbollah, a powerful military and political entity in Lebanon that has long been designated a terrorist group by both the U.S. and Israel, started firing rockets into Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, in support of its Hamas allies who sparked the war in Gaza with their terror attack the previous day.

Israel carried out airstrikes on purported Hezbollah targets for months, but in September it dramatically escalated its assault on the Iranian proxy group, including by launching ground operations in the south of Lebanon.

CBS News correspondent Debora Patta said rockets were still flying in both directions over Israel’s northern border on Tuesday, with Israel and Hezbollah trading some of their heaviest fire to date, even as diplomats push for peace.

Under the proposed deal, Lebanese forces and United Nations peacekeepers are expected to jointly patrol southern Lebanon to ensure the terms of the agreement are adhered to. Earlier reports suggested the southern region would be monitored by a multi-nation committee, which would include both the U.S. and France.

Middle East expert Danny Citrinowicz, a fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank, said the deal looked “good on paper,” but added that until it was implemented, “it would be hard to know whether Israel can really build on these kind of guarantees coming from the U.S. administration.”

After more than a year of crossfire, more than 1.2 million people have been displaced from their homes in Lebanon, along with at least 60,000 from towns and villages in northern Israel. They’re all desperate to go home, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long said the chief objective of the war with Hezbollah, from his government’s standpoint, has been to enable them to do so. 

While a deal with Hezbollah appeared closer than ever, negotiations for a ceasefire in Israel’s war with Iran’s other proxy force in the Gaza Strip, Hamas – have gone nowhere.

Many in the decimated Palestinian territory are hungry, and recent rainstorms have made living conditions there even worse. A winter chill has set in, and there were reports of a fresh Israeli strike killing about 15 people Tuesday in Gaza City.
