Israel will gradually withdraw its forces from Lebanon, and Hezbollah will not be permitted to rebuild its infrastructure in southern Lebanon over the next 60 days, President Biden announced on Tuesday afternoon from the White House, and the US and France will work with Israel and Lebanon to ensure their ceasefire agreement is fully implemented.
"Under the deal reached today, effective at 4 a.m. tomorrow, local time, fighting across the Lebanese and Israeli border will end. Will end," Biden emphasized. "This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities."
