What could Lebanon ceasefire mean for Gaza?

Early Wednesday a ceasefire came into effect between the Lebanese resistance and Israeli forces, following a deal that US President Joe Biden said is intended to bring about a “permanent cessation of hostilities.”

The ceasefire provides enormous relief for the people of Lebanon, who have endured death, injury, loss, suffering and displacement on a massive scale from Israel’s indiscriminate bombing targeting villages and civilian neighborhoods.

It came after the resistance led by Hizballah effectively stopped Israel’s ground invasion into Lebanon over the last two months and inflicted heavy losses on Israel’s military over the last 14 months.

The deal also raises many questions about the course of the confrontation between Israel and the resistance across the region, sparking concerns that Gaza faces a more difficult struggle without the support front in the north.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US leaders have said that the deal will allow them to focus on destroying Hamas and isolating Iran, although Biden has vowed a new effort to achieve a ceasefire for Gaza.
