## Interview: Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire
**Host:** Joining us today to discuss the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is Dr. Emily Carter, a Middle East expert from the Center for International Relations. Welcome, Dr. Carter.
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** So, after weeks of intense fighting, a fragile ceasefire has finally been reached. Can you tell us more about the details of this agreement and what led to it?
**Dr. Carter:** Absolutely. The ceasefire, brokered by the United States and France, went into effect early Wednesday morning in Lebanon [[1](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2024/11/27/israel-hezbollah-cease-fire/76612673007/)]. While the specifics haven’t been fully disclosed, both Israeli and Hezbollah officials have expressed their commitment to upholding the truce and working towards a more lasting peace. The international community has been pushing for a resolution to this conflict for some time, and the devastating humanitarian impact likely played a significant role in bringing both sides to the negotiating table.
**Host:** You mentioned the humanitarian cost of this conflict. What has been the impact on civilians?
**Dr. Carter:** Sadly, the fighting has been devastating for civilians on both sides. Many have been displaced from their homes, and there have been numerous casualties. The ceasefire offers a crucial opportunity for humanitarian aid to reach those in need and for reconstruction efforts to begin.
**Host:** What are the chances of this ceasefire holding? Many are concerned about its fragility.
**Dr. Carter:** It is indeed a fragile peace. Trust has been deeply eroded in this long-running conflict. Both sides will need to demonstrate significant commitment and restraint to ensure this ceasefire isn’t just a temporary lull. We must also keep in mind the broader political and geopolitical factors at play in the region, which can easily complicate matters.
**Host:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Carter. We will continue to follow developments closely.
