President Joe Biden wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that in the following days, the U.S. will “make another push” to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, “with the hostages released and an end to the war without Hamas in power.” The truce between Israel and Hezbollah “brings us closer to realizing a future I’ve been pushing for my entire presidency where the Middle East is at peace, prosperous, and integrated across borders,” he wrote in a separate post. This comes as long-displaced residents of southern Lebanon began returning to their homes early Wednesday morning. The return follows the implementation of a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group, bringing a temporary halt to hostilities that had forced thousands to flee. The ceasefire has offered a wave of relief across the country, following days of some of the most intense airstrikes and clashes since the conflict began. However, skepticism lingers over the durability of the agreement. Israel has warned it will retaliate if Hezbollah violates the truce, which was officially announced on Tuesday. Thousands of people poured into southern Lebanon, disregarding warnings from the Israeli military to avoid areas that had been evacuated during the conflict.

President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, has mocked Donald Trump’s incoming administration for trying to take credit for the Israel ceasefire with Lebanon.
“I would just point out that you know you’ve done a really good thing when other people take credit for it,” Sullivan told CNN Wednesday.
Trump’s NSA pick, Rep. Mike Waltz, had claimed in a post on X yesterday, that the deal between Israel and Hezbollah had come together because of Trump, despite the president-elect not taking office for another two months.
“Everyone is coming to the table because of President Trump,” Waltz wrote, adding that his, “resounding victory sent a clear message to the rest of the world that chaos won’t be tolerated.”
Sullivan pushed back, crediting the “relentless American diplomacy” of Biden, as well as Israel having achieved its objectives in Lebanon.
Everyone is coming to the table because of President Trump.
His resounding victory sent a clear message to the rest of the world that chaos won’t be tolerated. I’m glad to see concrete steps towards deescalation in the Middle East.

Biden administration is reportedly prepared to sell $680 million in weaponry to Israel
President Joe Biden has conditionally authorized a $680 million weapons sale to Israel, including a new supply of precision weaponry touted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as one rationale for supporting a cease-fire with Hizbollah, The Financial Times was first to report.
According to sources familiar with the situation, U.S. officials recently informed Congress of plans to equip Israel with more joint direct attack munition kits known as Jdams, as well as small-diameter bombs. The disclosure of such a proposed arms sale, which Congress can object to, usually occurs prior to the public announcement of a contract.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country will contribute in “any way possible” toward a ceasefire in Gaza.
“To stop the massacre in Gaza and to establish a permanent ceasefire, we as Turkey are ready to contribute in any way possible,” Erdogan told his parliament on Wednesday, the first day of the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.
Erdogan welcomed the news of the ceasefire and urged both sides to keep to their promises for peace.
“We expect all sides, especially Israel, to fulfill their responsibilities, to the letter, in order to maintain quiet in the field,” he added.

Gaza hopes for ceasefire of its own
Palestinians said on Wednesday that they hoped for a ceasefire in Gaza after Israel and the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah agreed to one.
However, some anticipated that Israel might be more aggressive with Gaza now that its soldiers had been freed up from fighting Hezbollah.

Some displaced citizens from northern Israeli communities said they do not feel safe enough to return
Some Israelis who have been displaced by fighting with the Lebanese militant organization Hezbollah believe the cease-fire agreement does not make them feel safe enough to return home.
Approximately 50,000 people have been displaced from a number of cities, towns, and villages along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. Those communities have been pummeled by Hezbollah rocket and drone fire for 13 months, with dozens of houses damaged and in need of rebuilding or rehabilitation.
Noy Friedman, who was moved from Shlomi to Haifa, said, “I am also not ready for my family to return to Shlomi.”

During a Tuesday press conference in Jerusalem, Graham announced that he would file legislation in Congress to penalize any country that attempts to implement the arrest warrants against Israel.
“You could be a close ally – Canada, Britain, France, you name it – if you buy into this arrest warrant is legitimate, then you will meet stiff bipartisan resistance in America,” he said. “So, to the world – if you empower this folly at the ICC, then you will have a hard time doing business in America.”

Hamas says it is willing to cooperate with any endeavor to bring about a truce in the Gaza Strip
Hamas says it is willing to work with any attempt to bring about a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, following a truce between Israel and the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah that ended months of bloodshed, AP reported.
The pact does not address the conflict in Gaza. International mediators have repeatedly failed to persuade Israel and Hamas to an agreement that would end the deadly 13-month war.
In a statement, Hamas reiterated its demand for the departure of Israeli forces from Gaza, the return of displaced Palestinians, and a “real and complete prisoner exchange deal.”
Israel has refused to commit to ending the conflict under any cease-fire agreement, and some Israeli officials have balked at freeing a substantial number of Palestinian inmates in exchange for the about 100 hostages currently held by terrorists in Gaza.
President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he expected a strong international push for discussions in the coming days.

On Wednesday, violence continued in the Gaza Strip despite the fact that a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah appeared to be holding in Lebanon.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported that 33 bodies had been taken to hospitals in the last 24 hours, bringing the total dead toll in the almost 14-month-long conflict to 44,282. The Health Ministry’s figure does not discriminate between civilians and fighters, although more than half of those killed are women and children.
The Israeli military claimed it targeted dozens of Hamas installations in northern Gaza, including weapons storage facilities and military infrastructure. It stated that it had informed locals to leave the area in advance. The military has been fighting for weeks against a revival of Hamas in the region, which was an early focus of Israel’s attack.
The Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire has little direct impact on the crisis in Gaza, where foreign mediators have attempted to broker a truce.

Mercy Corps urges donors to help
International relief organizations hailed Israel and Hezbollah’s ceasefire deal and urged donors to donate funds to restore portions of Lebanon and assist the refugees.
The assistance organizations are concerned about the war’s consequences on Lebanon’s already ailing economy. With almost 1.2 million people evacuated, they warned that the destruction would leave many suffering and homeless.
The International Rescue Committee said that more than 100,000 homes had been partially or completely damaged in southern Lebanon, Bekaa, and Beirut.
Mercy Corps said that half of Lebanon’s population currently lives below the poverty level. It urged donors to fulfill agreements to fund both urgent humanitarian needs and long-term rehabilitation.
“There will undoubtedly be a great deal of grief and trauma. Many will have no homes to return to, no schools for their children, and livelihoods destroyed,” Norwegian Refugee Council Secretary-General Jan Egeland said.

Russia says the U.S. should focus its outrage on the conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, following reports that officials have been attending counseling sessions to cope with Donald Trump’s election victory.
“Disappointed in the success of the Republican candidate, American diplomats urgently needed, as the media writes, a mental health consultant from the U.S. Public Health Service to share their concerns about the country’s foreign policy,” Maria Zakharova, director of the Russian foreign ministry press department, said on Tuesday via Telegram. “As if there were no reasons for mass hysteria before Trump’s election? Mountains of corpses in Ukraine, in the Gaza Strip – isn’t that a reason?”
Zakharova was responding to allegations, leveled against the State Department by media outlets and Republicans, that it has been offering its employees therapy sessions following Trump’s win, based on an internal email obtained by the Free Beacon. The email outlined plans to host “an insightful webinar,” focused on “effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times.”

White House official expects that the ceasefire agreement would ‘create space’ for a Gaza truce
White House principal deputy national security advisor Jon Finer said that he hopes the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah will “create space” for a deal over Gaza.
“We are going to test whether this creates space for further progress, either toward a cease fire and hostage deal in Gaza,” Finer told CNN.
Finer said that it’s believed that Hamas thought that an ongoing war between Israel and Lebanon “might distract the IDF in some way might take the pressure off of Hamas in some way.”
“Actually I think the reaching of this deal, the conclusion of this deal further isolates Hamas,” he said.

In the hours leading up to the deal, Israel’s forces attacked Beirut’s southern suburbs 20 times in two minutes, one of the most severe bombardments since the conflict began. The attacks on Tuesday killed at least 25 individuals, 10 of whom were in central Beirut.

The ceasefire deal closely follows UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which concluded the 2006 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and states that territories south of the Litani shall be free of all armed people and weapons save those of the Lebanese state and the UN peacekeeping force (Unifil), per BBC.
However, both sides alleged breaches of the agreement.
Israel claims Hezbollah was permitted to establish considerable infrastructure in the region, while Lebanon claims Israel violated its sovereignty by conducting combat aircraft over its land.
This time, the U.S. and France will join the current tripartite system, which includes Unifil, Lebanon, and Israel, to be entrusted with monitoring infractions, according to a senior U.S. official.
“There will be no U.S. combat troops in the area, but there will be military support for the Lebanese Armed Forces, as we’ve done in the past. But in this case, it’ll be typically done with the Lebanese army and in conjunction with the French military as well,” the official said.

Hezbollah would withdraw its men and weapons from the region between the Blue Line, Lebanon’s unofficial border, and the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) to the north, over the course of 60 days, according to the conditions of the ceasefire.
A senior U.S. official says Hezbollah soldiers would be replaced by Lebanese army personnel in the region, who will guarantee that any infrastructure or equipment is destroyed and cannot be reinstalled.
Over the same 60-day period, Israel will progressively remove its remaining military and people, according to Biden, allowing citizens on both sides of the border to come home.

After President Joe Biden secured a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon yesterday, he and others have begun pushing for a similar agreement to end the war in Gaza.
In a speech at the White House shown on C-Span, Biden spoke about how he plans to push for a ceasefire in Gaza.
He said: “Far too many civilians in Gaza have suffered far too much, and Hamas has refused for months and months to negotiate a good faith ceasefire and a hostage deal. So now, Hamas has a choice to make. Their only way out is to release the hostages, including American citizens which they hold, and in the process, bring an end to the fighting, which would make possible a surge of humanitarian relief.”
The president said: “Over the coming days, the United States will make another push with Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Israel, and others to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.”
Biden added that this would result in: “A vision of a future of the Middle East where it’s at peace and prosperous and integrated across borders; a future where Palestinians have a state of their own, one that fulfills its people’s legitimate aspirations and one that cannot threaten Israel or harbor terrorist groups with backing from Iran; a future where Israelis and Palestinians enjoy equal measures of security, prosperity, and—yes—dignity.”
Biden said that the U.S. “remains prepared to conclude a set of historic deals with Saudi Arabia” to form a path to establish a Palestinian state and “normalize” relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Tensions in the Middle East have drastically escalated in the last few months, with the Israelis conducting strikes in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iran.

Residents of Northern Israel Express Ceasefire Concerns
Despite the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, many Israelis displaced by the conflict remain hesitant to return home. Concerns about security persist, as the ceasefire’s durability is uncertain.

“I am also not ready for my family to return to Shlomi,” said Friedman.
“I am against the ceasefire,” said Eliyahu Maman, a Kiryat Shmona resident displaced to Haifa who feared Hezbollah could still attack from southern Lebanon. “I am not ready to return to Kiryat Shmona.”
Some 50,000 people have been displaced from a string of cities, towns and villages along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. Those communities have been pummeled by Hezbollah rocket and drone fire for 13 months, with dozens of houses damaged and in need of rebuilding or rehabilitation.

Kaafarani said he hopes his children and grandchildren will have a better future without wars because “our generation suffered and is still suffering.”
“The last two months were way too long,” said Kaafarani, whose home was badly damaged in the fighting. He vowed to fix it and continue on with life.

Iraq Hezbollah Group to Continue Operations
One of the most influential Iran-backed factions in Iraq has declared its intention to continue operations in support of Gaza, even after the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah.
For nearly 14 months since the Israel-Hamas conflict began, Iraqi militias have frequently carried out attacks on Israel from within Iraqi territory, maintaining their active role in the broader regional dynamics despite the truce in Lebanon.
In a statement, the Kataib Hezbollah group said that the ceasefire would not have been possible without the “resilience of Hezbollah fighters and the failure of the Zionists to achieve their objectives.”
The group said that a pause by one member of the so-called Axis of Resistance, which includes Iran-backed groups from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, would not undermine the broader “unity of fronts” strategy.
The militia also said the U.S. had been Israel’s partner “in all acts of betrayal, killing, destruction and displacement,” and said it “will eventually have to pay for its actions.”
