Hey there! 🌍 The ceasefire in southern Lebanon is facing a rocky road ahead. Israeli troops didn't pull out before the deadline, and now all eyes are on how things will unfold. 😬
James M. Dorsey, an expert from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, shared some insights. He believes both sides want to avoid more conflict (phew!), but the big question is: can the ceasefire hold? 🤔
According to Dorsey, it's all about how the Lebanese army steps up. They need to take over positions held by Hezbollah in the south as part of the agreement. It's like passing the baton in a relay race 🏃♂️—but will they make a smooth handoff?
The challenge is real, and the world is watching. Let's hope for peace and stability in the region! ✌️
