    I didn’t see a thing stating Hezbollah agreed on that article.

      Are you suggesting that Hezbollah didn’t agree to the deal, or that that’s not part of it? Cause I didn’t see anything that either of those would be the case, and plenty of the contrary.

        The Lebanese government is a basket case, and the Lebanese military is likely weaker than Hezbollah.

        Any article that does not explicitly state that Hezbollah (and not simply the Lebanese government) agreed to a ceasefire is not stating anything of substance.

        Now, Hezbollah said they’d make a statement today about this deal, and I haven’t seen the outcome of that yet. They may have agreed to it today.

        The point is, however, that this specific article didn’t say what the person above said it did. Namely that Hezbollah agreed to anything.

          Well there are a lot more (and better) sources on these developments than just this one article, I didn’t know we had to pretend the outside world doesn’t exist anymore after we’ve entered a thread

          But even if we have to limit ourselves to just this article: it would be very interesting if they put the US president in front of the press to triumphantly announce a ceasefire is going into effect without first checking if all of the parties really agree to it
