Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire, contingent on Hezbollah's complete withdrawal from southern Lebanon, as announced by the Trump administration. This agreement follows four rounds of negotiations in Washington aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict that reignited on March 2, when Hezbollah resumed attacks against Israel. The ceasefire includes plans for 'pilot zones' where the Lebanese armed forces will maintain exclusive control, but Hezbollah has not participated in the discussions and has rejected any partial ceasefire. Tensions remain high, with recent Israeli airstrikes resulting in civilian casualties, including an attack near a hospital in southern Lebanon. President Trump has expressed frustration over the situation, indicating that Israeli actions are complicating US-led efforts to negotiate peace with Iran. The US House of Representatives has also challenged Trump's approach, urging him to seek congressional approval for military actions. As hostilities continue, analysts suggest that Israel aims to weaken Hezbollah before any potential peace deal with Iran is finalized.
