Will the US-backed ceasefire in Lebanon hold? | Inside Story

The ceasefire in Lebanon offers hope for a return to peace and a chance for people to rebuild their lives after 13 months of fighting.
But the US-backed agreement has raised questions.
Is the under-resourced Lebanese army in a position to enforce the terms of the deal?
And how fragile will the situation be in the next 60 days, when Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters withdraw from southern Lebanon?

4000 people killed, 1 million displaced. Villages destroyed and we are celebrating. Come on... This is not a win. I don't know how we as Lebanese are ok with our country being ok with this and worse... Thinking we won.

[fabianyaodoh]

Defeat speech?.
This man must be hallucinating. How on earth will you call this a win.
Is he a Lebanese?

[kuipyyq]

Nathanyahu managed yo buy time until another deadly tactic in the pipeline!

[gulkhankhankk]

Please also cover the massacre that has unfolded in Pakistan. Pakistan's military has killed hundereds of peaceful protestors in the Capital city Islamabad.

[amhamoges]

Its laughable when losers are in celebration

[chrystylharves]

Why wait 60 days for the IDF to remove their troops?
The US needs to stay out of Lebanon in any capacity.
We can't stop meddling abroad while our own citizens suffer from poverty, hunger, outrageous rental and home prices.
Anywhere we go we bring more misery in the Middle East.

Wow these normal civilians get to see the light of day again for a short time i bet.

[Sarinastralis]

Hezbollah dont want any smoke when trump gets in.This was emberassing to say the least.

[conduittothecollective]

The bullies led by an ICC wanted war criminal just got smacked in the face and are backing off in shame, this is not a "win" for anyone, the bullies will just take what they were using in Lebanon and turn it toward Gaza...and regroup, rearm and reignite...Peace from NZ.

[dawar-yuts]

Those don't want cease fire they are far from the battle field, their children are not daying, let's sit and find ways how to live with each other with peace

[TheGhost]

Hezbollah claimed they wouldn’t agree to a ceasefire unless there was one in Gaza. Well they’ve now accepted a ceasefire without one in Gaza. Even putting aside the lopsided casualties, this was a resounding Israeli victory.

[samuelolaoluwadavid]

Only stupid folks will jubilate under this kind of horrific situation. What are they celebrating?

[alisagibson]

Not even 24hrs since this was posted, and Israel has already broken the ceasefire.

[Hlth-cnfh]

Keep watching. There will be no ceasefire. Remember, you were told. For Israel has spoken.

[rexsticker]

Another source says that there were 39, 000 Israeli violations of Resolution 1701, ay more than those committed by Hezbollah. So what is she talking about?

[manoy_tigasin]

The guest said Israel didn't get any achievement from the war; meanwhile, the majority of Hezbollah leaders are eliminated. 🤦‍♂️

[drudru]

Dang this is crazy. They got the snot kicked out of them. Now you know why other countries didn’t want anything to do with this conflict, despite AJ trying to shame them into jumping in. End up looking like Lebanon and Gaza and a cease fire. Wow😮

[blackseed]

American and French troops in Lebanon. How could this possibly be seen as victory.

[TreasaVeigas-qqjm]

Who started this evil warm. Who should cease firing. Who should cease being evil. Who should cease taking innocent humans as hostages. Who should cease causing so much misery in this beautiful world of the good God. Shame on all evil humans who live in this beautiful world of the good God.

[Alandforman]

It's good to hear all sides so you can listen to what they are not saying, and thus taking responsibility for. 😢
