The Lebanon-Israel ceasefire agreement officially came into effect in the early hours of November 27, 2024, temporarily ending nearly 14 months of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. As the initial 60-day ceasefire period stipulated in the agreement draws to a close, United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) spokesperson Andrea Tenenti spoke to CGTN about the current situation.
Andrea Tenenti emphasized that while the ceasefire has provided a temporary respite from hostilities, the underlying tensions in southern Lebanon remain high. \"The situation in southern Lebanon remains fragile,\" Tenenti stated, highlighting the need for continued vigilance and dialogue among all parties involved.
UNIFIL continues to monitor the situation closely, working to maintain stability and support the implementation of the ceasefire agreement. The international community remains hopeful that the ceasefire will hold, paving the way for long-term peace and cooperation in the region.
