Today, we look at the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah and what it means for the Middle East. A deal to end thirteen months of fighting in Lebanon came into affect on Wednesday morning. It follows Israel’s land invasion of Lebanon in October in response to rocket attacks from Hezbollah. Adam is joined by the BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen, and Jonny Dymond, host of The Conflict podcast. They discuss how the deal was brokered, what it means for Israel and Lebanon, and why the deal doesn’t extend to the war in Gaza. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
