Biden says Israel, Lebanon have agreed to deal to end over year-long conflict

The Lebanese and Israeli governments have agreed to a US proposal to end "the devastating conflict" between Israel and the Hezbollah group, President Joe Biden announced Tuesday, AzVision.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

The agreement is slated to go into effect Wednesday at 4 a.m. local time (0200 GMT) and will see the Lebanese Armed Forces "deploy and take control of" southern Lebanon over the course of the next 60 days, during which time, "Israel will gradually withdraw its remaining forces," the president said in televised remarks.

Biden said the US alongside France and other allies have "pledged to work with Israel and Lebanon to ensure that this arrangement is fully implemented."

He maintained that while there will be no US troops on the ground in southern Lebanon, "we, along with France and others, will provide the necessary assistance to make sure this deal is implemented fully and effectively."
