Israel’s Cabinet approved a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah on Tuesday after extended negotiations. The deal, presented by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, passed with a 10-1 vote, with far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir opposing the plan.

The ceasefire officially went into effect at 4 a.m. Wednesday, local time, five hours after the agreement was announced. The deal was accompanied by statements from both Israel and the White House.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Lebanese army and security forces will take control of southern Lebanon, currently dominated by Hezbollah, over the next 60 days. In parallel, Israel will withdraw its forces from the region, allowing civilians on both sides of the border to return to their homes.

Despite the agreement, hostilities continued into the night, with bombing reported in Beirut as U.S. President Joe Biden addressed the ceasefire in Washington.

“Israel appreciates the U.S. contribution to this process and reserves its right to act against any threat to its security,” read a statement from Netanyahu’s office.

Speaking earlier when submitting the deal for Cabinet approval, Netanyahu acknowledged the ceasefire’s reliance on Hezbollah’s cooperation. “The duration of the ceasefire depends on what happens in Lebanon,” he said. “We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation. We will continue together until victory.”

Hezbollah has not yet issued an official response to the ceasefire, leaving uncertainty about how the agreement will hold in the coming weeks.
