U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s Senior Adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs, Massad Boulos, has described the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire as “a historic agreement for both countries, the importance of which will be measured in the weeks and months to come.”

The Lebanese Forces said Wednesday that Hezbollah must legitimize all its institutions, including the al-Qard al-Hassan financial institution, amid reports that Hezbollah will reopen its branches after being hit by Israeli airstrikes.

“We stressed during these contacts the priority of stabilizing the situations so that the displaced can return to their towns and areas and the army’s deployment in the south can be expanded,” Mikati told his visitors.
