Another Take: Will the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire hold in Lebanon?
Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on November 28, 2024. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has taken effect, aiming to end more than a year of war in Lebanon. As displaced families return home and celebrations erupt in Lebanon’s streets, uncertainty looms over how long the fragile peace will last.

Did the UN just outsource Israel’s occupation?
A United Nations resolution built on Donald Trump’s Gaza plan promises a ceasefire, foreign peacekeepers and a new “Board of Peace” to govern the Gaza Strip.
