Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei on Wednesday hailed a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon while holding the international community responsible for ensuring peace and stability in the Middle East.The spokesman also mentioned that the international community should put pressure on Israel to bring the war in the Gaza Strip to an end. US President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday that the Israeli and Lebanese governments had agreed to Washington's ceasefire proposal, which includes the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon within 60 days. Under the plan, the Lebanese army will take control of southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah will relocate its forces north of the Litani River. An international committee, headed by the United States, will be set up to monitor compliance by both parties with the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Washington has also agreed to provide Israel with guarantees that include support for Israeli military action against imminent threats from Lebanon, as well as action to prevent the possible reestablishment of Hezbollah military presence in southern Lebanon. This ceasefire agreement comes after Israel had been conducting a ground operation against Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon while also continuing to exchange air and rocket strikes with the Shia movement since October 1. The death toll in Lebanon from Israeli strikes had exceeded 3,700. Despite losses, Hezbollah was fighting Israeli troops on the ground and launching rockets across the border.

Tehran Welcomes Ceasefire Agreement Between Israel and Lebanon, Foreign Ministry Says
09:24 27.11.2024 (Updated: 11:56 27.11.2024) TEHRAN (Sputnik) - On Tuesday evening, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon by an absolute majority of votes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the need for the ceasefire and said that Israel would respond to any possible resumption of hostilities.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei on Wednesday hailed a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon while holding the international community responsible for ensuring peace and stability in the Middle East.
"Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei welcomes the news of the cessation of the aggression of the Israeli regime against Lebanon and emphasizes the firm support of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Lebanese government, nation and resistance [forces]," the ministry wrote on Telegram.
The spokesman also mentioned that the international community should put pressure on Israel to bring the war in the Gaza Strip to an end.
US President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday that the Israeli and Lebanese governments had agreed to Washington's ceasefire proposal, which includes the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon within 60 days. Under the plan, the Lebanese army will take control of southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah will relocate its forces north of the Litani River.
An international committee, headed by the United States, will be set up to monitor compliance by both parties with the terms of the
ceasefire agreement. Washington has also agreed to provide Israel with guarantees that include support for Israeli military action against imminent threats from Lebanon, as well as action to prevent the possible reestablishment of Hezbollah military presence in southern Lebanon.
This ceasefire agreement comes after Israel had been conducting a ground operation against Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon while also continuing to exchange air and
rocket strikes with the Shia movement since October 1. The death toll in Lebanon from Israeli strikes had exceeded 3,700. Despite losses, Hezbollah was fighting Israeli troops on the ground and launching rockets across the border.
