Israel, Hezbollah agree to ceasefire, as US tries to close broader agreement with Iran to end war
Israel and Hezbollah reportedly agreed Friday to renew their ceasefire, to end their fighting in southern Lebanon
Israel and Hezbollah reportedly agreed Friday to renew their ceasefire to end their fighting in southern Lebanon and help the US and Iran reach a broader deal to end their roughly four-month-long war.
CBS News is reporting the ceasefire, based on what it said was information from three diplomats briefed on the matter. The ceasefire follows renewed fighting overnight between Israel and Hezbollah.
The United States and Iran recently entered into a so-called memorandum of understanding to end their war. President Donald Trump signed the agreement Wednesday, and the sides have 60 days to reach a final agreement, according to the memorandum.
However, Israel attacking Iran proxy Hezbollah in southern Lebanon is complicating matters. Trump, and on Friday, Vice President JD Vance, sharply criticized Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the attacks.
