The Trump administration has announced a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, contingent upon the complete cessation of hostilities from Hezbollah and the withdrawal of its fighters from the region south of the Litani River. Despite this agreement, Israel has continued drone strikes in southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah infrastructure, which has resulted in civilian injuries and fatalities. Concurrently, the US House of Representatives passed a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's military authority regarding Iran, with a vote of 215 to 208. This resolution requires the president to seek congressional approval for military actions that extend beyond 90 days of conflict, a move that reflects bipartisan concern over Trump's approach to military engagements. The resolution will now proceed to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. The developments in the Middle East and the legislative actions in the US signify a critical juncture in US foreign policy and military strategy in the region.
