00:00So we just made a deal with Lebanon. As of two hours from now, we have a ceasefire with Israel
00:06and Lebanon, and that'll be great.
00:08A day after U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement, the fragile ceasefire agreed by Lebanon and Israel, which started on
00:16Friday, appeared to be holding.
00:18The goal of the 10-day cessation of hostilities between Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah is providing
00:25breathing room for negotiators to make progress on a more lasting deal.
00:32Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he agreed to the ceasefire to advance peace efforts, but also said he would
00:39not be withdrawing troops from southern Lebanon.
00:53In Lebanon, civilians displaced by the fighting made tentative returns to their homes.
00:59But for many, the relief of being able to return was tempered by the scale of destruction they encountered on
01:05their arrival.
01:15The ceasefire also has ripple effects for the wider conflict in the Middle East.
01:19A pause in fighting between Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon was a key demand of Iranian negotiators in the talks
01:25between the U.S. and Iran.
01:27But despite efforts by Pakistani officials to bring U.S. and Iranian representatives back to the table for a second
01:33round of talks,
01:35the White House said no decision had been made on whether to resume negotiations.
01:57Last Day is No.
