Ceasefire Agreement Faces Challenges in Southern Lebanon

News summary

A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is set to take effect on January 19, after prolonged negotiations involving the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar. This agreement includes the release of 33 hostages by Hamas in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, with the first phase lasting six weeks. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will not proceed with the ceasefire until receiving a list of the hostages to be released, emphasizing that Israel retains the right to resume military operations if necessary. Meanwhile, a separate ceasefire agreement involving Hezbollah and Israel remains uncertain, as the Lebanese army must dismantle Hezbollah's weapons and infrastructure in southern Lebanon, particularly south of the Litani River. The IDF has highlighted the significant stockpiles of weapons seized during its operations, indicating ongoing concerns about Hezbollah's capabilities. Netanyahu's warning about a potential return to conflict underscores the fragile nature of these agreements.
