• The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has halted an escalation with 3,800 casualties in Lebanon and reduced the threat of full-scale war in the Middle East.
• The agreement obliges Hezbollah to withdraw north of the Litani River and Netanyahu's forces to retreat within their borders.
• This allows 1.2 million Lebanese and 60,000 Israelis displaced to return home.
• Peace is fragile and incomplete, excluding Gaza and allowing Israel to unilaterally attack if its security is at risk.
• Hezbollah remains influential despite their weakened state, with Lebanese forces and UNIFIL having to prevent their rearmament.

Conclusion: The agreement represents a significant step towards stability, but it is a precarious peace given the possibility of unilateral attacks from Israel, the exclusion of Gaza, and Hezbollah's continued influential role.
