Anewz

An international panel, led by the United States, will oversee the implementation of the ceasefire to ensure both sides adhere to the terms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that any violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah would trigger a strong military response. He announced plans to bring the ceasefire agreement to his full cabinet for approval, after its endorsement by the security cabinet, making it clear that Israel retains full military freedom of action in cooperation with the United States.

Netanyahu also warned that any attempts by Hezbollah to rearm would result in immediate strikes.

Although Hezbollah did not directly participate in the ceasefire talks, Lebanese parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri acted as a mediator on its behalf.

In Lebanon, the reaction from residents was mixed. Some expressed relief at the ceasefire but emphasized the importance of upholding the legitimacy of the agreements and ensuring that the Lebanese state plays a stronger role in maintaining peace.

In Israel, citizens showed a mix of optimism and concern, with some hopeful for peace, while others remained doubtful about the long-term effectiveness of the agreement.

In response to the ceasefire, Türkiye welcomed the deal and expressed its support for maintaining peace in the region. The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement, calling on all parties, especially Israel, to fully uphold their responsibilities in ensuring stability on the ground. Türkiye reiterated its readiness to contribute to ending the violence in Gaza and to supporting efforts for a lasting ceasefire.
