Israeli media reported Monday that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is likely to be announced within two days. According to public broadcaster KAN, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a US-backed ceasefire deal with Lebanon, giving US envoy Amos Hochstein the greenlight to move forward with negotiations. Sources indicated that the terms of the deal have been finalized, and Netanyahu is now focused on how to present the agreement to the public. The ongoing talks are centered on ensuring Israel’s freedom to operate along its borders with Lebanon and Syria after the ceasefire is in place. KAN also reported that the US has provided assurances to Israel, allowing military action if Hezbollah violates the ceasefire terms. However, there has been no official comment from Hezbollah or Lebanese authorities. Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said last week that the group had submitted its feedback on the US proposal and emphasized that the outcome now depends on Netanyahu’s commitment to reaching an agreement. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has intensified in recent months, with Israeli airstrikes targeting alleged Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. Since the escalation began in October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed over 3,600 people in Lebanon, injured more than 15,300, and displaced over a million. The situation further escalated in October 2024 when Israel launched a ground assault into southern Lebanon. non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Democratic US Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Monday that he will support measures blocking certain offensive arms sales to Israel amid its ongoing wars on the besieged Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Van Hollen said he has chosen to support the joint resolutions of disapproval because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly violated US laws governing the provision of lethal aid “only to be rewarded by President (Joe) Biden.” The lawmaker from the US state of Maryland said the pattern of Israeli conduct over the course of the past year “undermines the credibility of the United States and should not persist.” “Recipients of security assistance must facilitate and not arbitrarily restrict the delivery of humanitarian assistance into war zones where US weapons are being used, and American-supplied weapons must be used in accordance with international humanitarian law. The Netanyahu government is violating both of these requirements in Gaza,” he said in a lengthy statement. “President Biden has failed to hold Netanyahu accountable – ignoring US law and undercutting his own stated policies as well as America’s interests and values. Doing so undermines American global leadership and is a disservice to the American people, the people of Israel, and people throughout the Middle East,” he added. Van Hollen circulated a letter to his Senate colleagues, asking them to join him in support of the joint resolutions. The Senate is slated to consider them Wednesday after they were announced last week by Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced last week that she would endorse the joint resolutions. “There is no longer any doubt that Netanyahu’s extremist government is in clear violation of US and international law as it wages a barbaric war against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Out of a population of 2.2 million, over 43,000 Palestinians have been killed and 102,000 injured – sixty percent of whom are women, children, or elderly people,” said Sanders. “The United States cannot continue to be complicit in this war by supplying more military aid and weaponry to the Netanyahu government. Congress must act to block these arms sales,” he added.
