President Joe Biden on Tuesday celebrated the acceptance of a ceasefire deal brokered by the United States to end the "devastating conflict" between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah after more than a year of fighting.

Hamas claimed Wednesday that it is ready for a cease-fire in Gaza — just hours after Israel’s truce with Hezbollah terrorists went into effect in Lebanon. The terror group said it was open to efforts to bring an end to its 13-month war with the Jewish state in the Palestinian territory as senior officials hailed the Israel-Hezbollah agreement.
