Humanitarian Relief and Reconstruction

Regional and International Reactions
The ceasefire has been widely welcomed by the international community, with key nations and organizations commending the leadership of both Israel and Lebanon for prioritizing peace. However, some observers remain cautious, urging vigilance to ensure the ceasefire holds amid fragile relations.
This development is seen as a step forward in mitigating one of the region’s long-standing conflicts, with hopes for future negotiations to address underlying issues and build a more enduring peace.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
He has expressed hope that the deal will end the violence, destruction and suffering of the people of both countries.
United States President Joe Biden confirmed the deal which America and France brokered.
Guterres urged the parties to fully respect and swiftly implement all of the commitments made under the agreement and take immediate steps towards the full implementation of previous Security Council resolutions.
He said the UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon both stood ready to support the implementation of this agreement in line with their respective mandates.
US President Joe Biden earlier said the deal would go into effect at 4am local time this morning and was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities that would see a phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.
