Informed sources reported that the ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and the Israeli occupation entered into force, effective from 4:00 PM local time today, Friday. This announcement came after shuttle rounds of negotiations led by mediators from the United States and the State of Qatar, with contributions from the Iranian side to ensure de-escalation on the Lebanese front.
According to available data, Doha played a pivotal role in the last hours, as Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Qatari officials, held intensive contacts with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who represented Hezbollah in the negotiation process. These contacts included conveying Iranian messages to Washington demanding guarantees to stop Israeli aggressions, while the party stipulated an explicit American commitment to oblige Tel Aviv to the terms of the agreement.
On the ground, the announcement of the de-escalation was preceded by fierce clashes in the Talat Ali Al-Taher area, which resulted in deaths and injuries among the Israeli occupation army. This coincided with striking political statements, including assurances from Donald Trump about his ability to pressure the Netanyahu government to end military operations, which created additional pressure towards completing the current agreement that ends a violent round of escalation.
Hezbollah and Israel agreed to a ceasefire, and the agreement entered into force after an exchange of fire earlier today.
