The Israeli-Lebanese conflict appears to be coming to an end with the agreement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. The ceasefire is set to take effect on Wednesday, November 27th at 4am local time, and is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities. US President Joe Biden has stated that the deal is part of a 60-day truce aimed at implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

1. We support all efforts conducive to easing tensions and achieving peace and welcome the agreement reached by relevant parties on a ceasefire.
Isaac Herzog
Israeli Government
1. The emerging arrangement will have to meet only one test – guaranteeing full security for all residents of the north.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli Government
1. If it tries to rebuild terrorist infrastructure near the border, we will attack. If it launches a rocket, if it digs a tunnel, if it brings in a truck carrying rockets, we will attack.
2. We have set it back decades, eliminated ... its top leaders, destroyed most of its rockets and missiles, neutralized thousands of fighters, and obliterated years of terror infrastructure near our border.
3. Hezbollah is no longer the same. It has gone back decades … we have destroyed their infrastructure of terror which has been built near our border.
4. The duration of the ceasefire will depend on what happens in Lebanon … We will continue with our freedom of action. Should Hezbollah violate the agreement or attempt to rearm, we will strike decisively.
5. Tonight I will bring before the cabinet a plan for a cease-fire in Lebanon.
Itamar Ben Gvir

1. This is not a ceasefire. It's a return to the concept of silence for silence, and we've already seen where it leads.
Yair Lapid
Yesh Atid
1. Under Netanyahu's watch, the greatest disaster in our history occurred. No agreement with Hezbollah will erase the negligence.
Mahmoud Qamati
Hezbollah
1. We must examine the points that Netanyahu agreed to before the [Lebanese] government signs on tomorrow.
2. After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials.
Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert
United Nations
1. Nothing less than the full and unwavering commitment of both parties is required.
Joe Biden
Democratic Party
1. Civilians on both sides will soon be able to safely return to their communities.
2. If Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, then Israel retains the right to self defence, consistent with international law just like any country when facing a terrorist group.
3. I just spoke with the prime ministers of Israel and Lebanon, and I'm pleased to announce that their governments have accepted the United States' proposal to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
4. What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed to threaten the security of Israel again.
5. This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities. What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed — I emphasize, will not be allowed — to threaten the security of Israel again.
