[Israel and Lebanon Agree to Implement Ceasefire, but Hezbollah Did Not Participate in Negotiations] BlockBeats reports, on June 4, according to *The Washington Post*, under U.S. mediation, Israel and Lebanon agreed on Wednesday local time to implement a ceasefire agreement to end months of border conflict. However, Hezbollah, one of the main parties involved in the conflict and backed by Iran, did not participate in the negotiations held at the U.S. State Department and has not yet responded to the agreement. Since the two sides reached a preliminary ceasefire agreement in April this year, exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah have continued. Analysts believe that with Hezbollah absent, there remains significant uncertainty about whether this ceasefire agreement can be effectively implemented. Previously, the U.S. government announced that Israel and Lebanon had agreed to implement a ceasefire arrangement to ease regional tensions. [Original Link]
