Sources confirm a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah has taken effect, with Britain calling for a sustainable peace in the region. The deal, brokered through backchannel negotiations, halts weeks of cross-border fire that threatened to spiral into a wider conflict. Uncovered documents indicate the ceasefire terms include a mutual withdrawal of forces from disputed areas and a monitoring mechanism overseen by UNIFIL.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy issued a statement welcoming the truce but warned it must be the first step toward a broader political settlement. 'This is not the end, but a fragile pause,' a senior diplomat told our reporters. The agreement follows intense pressure from Washington and London, where officials feared a full-scale war would destabilise energy markets and trigger a humanitarian crisis.
Hezbollah sources confirm they will abide by the ceasefire as long as Israeli forces do not violate the terms. The Israeli government remains silent on the details. This is a developing story.
