India welcomed the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal, calling it a step towards peace. The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized India’s commitment to de-escalation, diplomacy, and dialogue. Brokered by the US and France, the ceasefire ends 14 months of clashes, including escalations linked to the Israel-Gaza conflict. Israeli PM Netanyahu thanked US President Biden for supporting the agreement while stressing Israel’s freedom of action if terms are breached. The truce, lasting 60 days, mandates withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Lebanon reported 3,760 deaths from Israeli strikes, primarily civilians. The ceasefire excludes ongoing Israel-Hamas fighting in Gaza, keeping regional tensions unresolved.
