The truce deal between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel has been described as a temporary halt to hostilities in Lebanon, but some experts believe it is a 'ceasefire under pressure' that fails to address the core issues of the regional conflict. The agreement, brokered by the US and France, is seen as a move to reduce tensions in the region, although it only brings the situation back to a status quo.
Former Pentagon Middle East advisor Jasmine El-Gamal highlighted the pressure exerted on both Israel and Hezbollah to reach this deal. The US has been pushing for an end to the fighting, while Hezbollah has faced significant losses in its leadership due to Israeli assassinations.
