Don't really get this, Hizbollah are the ones involved in the hostilities, they are not a signing partner so what is to stop them? Lebanese military? Could this lead to civil war in Lebanon?
Haven't Hizbollah said they will continue their attacks until there is a cease fire in Gaza?
Sounds like a plan doomed for failure, again the powers that be making deals without the involvement and agreement with the groups with skin in the game such as Abraham accords ignoring the plight of Palestinians.
We shall see.
Was Biden drunk then, geez someone put him to bed.

haha, you get your wet on @wax? good on you! coupla comments about the sea making us weirdos more normal. So true! (how you travelling @southern, been moon howling a bit longer than the rest of us, did you get through your hectic study time and subsequent disgust at humanity? been getting some rare mornings down here, there's nothing like a sou-west swell, with the wind whipping round to north-east on a good tide, and catching those few hours on an empty upwelling coast. total playtime : )

Ok saw that Hizbollah agreed to pull back.
Hope the cease fire can turn to peace.
This is my understanding of whats in it for each group.
Hezbollah: They only have about 20% of their rocket supply left and pretty much no proper leadership left, but they do get to survive to live another day and sadly will rebuild, the downside for them is it's a kind of loss as they said they wont stop until the Gaza war ends, which it wont be quite yet.
Israel= They are said to be low on ammunition and reservist tired, it gives them a break and in theory something like almost one hundred thousand Israeli's, it's said a very high number of Arabs & Bedouin's in that area can move back and rebuild, yes many of their houses are destroyed because the iron dome does not protect areas that have been evacuated. The downside for them is Hezbollah are still alive and will one day attack Israel again, so many have said they dont feel safe to return.
BTW. Most Israelis are not happy about the Ceasefire deal as most expected the aim was to destroy hezbollah, but Israel always said this wouldn't be a long operation and that destroying Hezbolah (a huge job) wasn't the aim, the aim was to make it safe for Israeli's return to the north and to push back Hezbollah to behind the Litani river.
Lebanon= They get peace and people can return to also rebuild in areas south of the Latani river, and do it without Hezbollahs influence hanging over them.
The army will also get outside support (like French) to ensure they have the resource's to ensure it's capable so in a sense it gives them support to be stronger and more in control of their country.
Iran= Apart from Hezbollah surviving they dont gain much, their proxy army is severely weakened and the focus for Israel and possibly even USA will most likely go towards dealing with Iran in some way, remember Israel is still waiting for return fire from Iran
The aim of Iran was to always use Hezbollah as a shield to prevent Israel trying to take out their nuclear facilties and to attack Israel via Hezbollah rather than directly, so If Iran strikes Israel again and Israel hits back Hezbollah cant get involved without breaking the ceasefire.
USA= Biden gets a win and goes out looking like he got something done. while Trump can and im sure will claim it was from his influence of coming into power soon.
Both parties must be fully removed from the area within 60 days so guess in a way that means Biden starts the deal and Trump in a sense is the one who finishes the deal.
Timing though is still interesting, why did Bibi not just wait until Trump came in and give Trump the clear win ?
I do believe part of the deal with Biden was a release of some ammunition supply's to Israel that had previously been held back though, maybe they were really running low in some areas.
I dont know if Trump having a Lebanese (Christian) brother inlay is a factor?...he also has a Jewish Zionist brother inlay, Christmas dinner politics sure would be interesting at Trumps house this year.
Good news Musk and Trump's bro-mance is still on.
Skip the shit 6:10 onwards rocket launch and some candid raw Trump & Elon action

that is terrifying.
13,000km per hour six month trip to mars.
I dig the research and knowledge space stuff very much,
but the Victorian-era loose-cannon captains of industry bro-club thing is terrifying.
Great vid b6.
US is losing the space race with China. I think that’s scared them at a national level. Musk and the bros want to capitalise.
Why’s Musk throwing shade at Lockheed Martin, producer of the F35, on Twitter right now? Because 71% of their revenue is US DoD contracts, and are also the maker of Orion space capsules, a competitor to SpaceX.
^^ how could any sane, rational, intelligent, balanced, logical thinking person ever contemplate buying a Tesla?
