Changes in the 2024-2026 ceasefire
A ceasefire agreement was reached between Lebanon and Israel in 2024 and 2026, within two distinct political and military contexts. The first occurred following a limited war on the southern front amid international pressures to contain escalation, while the second was followed by a broader war characterized by Israeli occupation of Lebanese villages, as well as shifts on the military and political fronts, alongside a separate negotiating framework between the United States and Iran. The internal conditions within Lebanon varied between these two periods: the first took place amidst an ongoing political crisis, whereas the second happened after the election of a new president and the formation of a government aiming to assist in reconstruction. The two agreements differed in their negotiation and implementation mechanisms, having been brokered through different mediations, with variations in the details of the ceasefire’s application—particularly concerning the timelines for the withdrawal of occupying forces and the retention of certain monitoring mechanisms. Despite these differences, both agreements share similarities in addressing the issue of Hezbollah’s disarmament in the southern part of the Litani River.
