Trump team looks positively at Lebanon ceasefire deal

CBS News reported on Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump's team has reviewed the ceasefire plan in Lebanon and views it positively.


CBS quoted an American official as saying that Iran was also informed of the agreement "due to Tehran's support for the Lebanese Hezbollah."


The US official added that President Joe Biden will refer to France in a speech he is scheduled to deliver later today to announce the agreement, saying that it will participate in implementing the ceasefire agreement.


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised speech that he was ready to implement the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, adding that he would present the agreement to the full cabinet later today.


Israel expanded its war on the Gaza Strip to Lebanon in September, killing Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and many of the Lebanese group's top leaders, with whom it has been exchanging fire since October 2023.


The Israeli attacks killed thousands, displaced hundreds of thousands from southern Lebanon, and caused widespread destruction in various parts of the country.
