Breakthrough in war in Middle East as Israel and Hezbollah agree ceasefire | BBC News
Israel and Hezbollah have agreed a ceasefire in Lebanon which could bring an end to more than a year of fighting there that has claimed thousands of lives. The office of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his security cabinet had approved the US ceasefire plan.
It’s understood that the initial 60-day ceasefire will see Israeli troops pulling out of Lebanon and Hezbollah fighters withdrawing north of the Litani river, away from the border with Israel. Thousands of troops from the Lebanese Army are expected to be deployed to the area and an international committee will monitor the implementation of the ceasefire.
President Biden said the ceasefire was intended to become “a permanent cessation of hostilities” and a crucial step to achieving wider peace in the Middle East. Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the deal was a “fundamental step towards restoring calm and stability in Lebanon and enabling displaced persons to return to their towns and cities”.
The announcement came after some of the heaviest fighting between Israel and Hezbollah for months, with Israeli airstrikes hitting Beirut, Israeli troops moving further into southern Lebanon and Hezbollah firing more rockets into northern Israel.
The deal does not bring an end to the war in Gaza, which began following the 7th October attacks on Israel by Hamas. The Israeli assault on Gaza has claimed more than 40,000 lives according to the Hamas-run administration there.

US vice president JD Vance has flown to Budapest to offer his support for Hungarian president Victor Orbán.
The veteran prime minister is a key European ally of the Trump administration, as well as being Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest partner in the EU.
Orbán’s main rival Péter Magyar is well ahead in most opinion polls.
Catherine Belton, a journalist for The Washington Post, described the Hungarian president as an “important symbol and model” for the Maga movement and the Kremlin.

US and Iran hold peace talks in highest level meeting since 1979 Islamic revolution | BBC News
The US Vice-President JD Vance has been holding face to face talks with senior Iranian leaders in Islamabad. It’s the highest level direct talks between the two countries since Iran’s Islamic revolution in. 1979.
There were three rounds of talks mediated by Pakistan in Islamabad, with the hope of agreeing a permanent end to the fighting in the Middle East that began with US and Israel attacking Iran and sparked a wider conflict and the closure of the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
There are huge obstacles to a lasting peace deal. The strait of Hormuz remains blocked to much shipping, pushing up global prices of oil and gas. In Lebanon Israel continues to attack Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy. More than 200 targets have been attacked there in the past 24 hours, with the death toll over 2,000.
Christian Fraser presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Caroline Davies and Lyse Doucet in Islamabad.
