Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Tuesday agreed to a permanent ceasefire in cross-border hostilities, following a year-long conflict between the Jewish state and Iranian-backed groups.

President Joe Biden announced the deal, which was brokered by France and the U.S.

“Under the deal reached today, effective at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, local time, the fighting across the Lebanese Israeli border will end,” Biden said in the White House Rose Garden.

“This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” he added. “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.”
