Lebanon ceasefire: "A dangerous and fragile moment"

Does Israel’s deal with Hezbollah move the region closer to lasting peace?

Does Israel’s deal with Hezbollah move the region closer to lasting peace? The agreement reached this week will save lives and allow thousands of displaced Lebanese and Israelis to return to their homes – if it holds. But the conflict in Gaza is expected to intensify, as the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to ramp up pressure on Hamas. Can Joe Biden or Donald Trump broker another ceasefire? And how will Iran react as it watches its network of proxy groups fall apart?

On this episode Katya Adler speaks to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s international editor Jeremy Bowen.
