Israel has agreed to a truce in Lebanon. Here’s what that means

The signing of the Lebanon deal is unlikely to provide respite for Palestinians in Gaza, according to a regional analyst. A Hezbollah-Israel agreement “means nothing for Gaza,” HA Hellyer, a senior associate fellow in security studies at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London, told CNN before the deal was signed. “I don’t think the conclusion of any deal with regards to Lebanon is likely to make one in Gaza more likely,” Hellyer said, adding that there haven’t been substantial ceasefire negotiations in Gaza for a long time.
