US brokers Israel-Lebanon ceasefire and military 'pilot zones' plan

In Israel and Lebanon, on 4 June 2026, the two countries agreed to renew their ceasefire on condition that Hezbollah stops its attacks. The US brokered the deal, which also creates 'pilot' zones where Hezbollah is banned. i24NEWS describes it as a plan to drive Hezbollah north of the Litani River, and RT reports a US statement that Hezbollah must withdraw from Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon.

Ben Gvir called the ceasefire a 'grave mistake' and said Beirut is a 'partner to Hezbollah'. Netanyahu was to meet top ministers on the truce. Trump said Hezbollah did not reject the ceasefire. The Wall Street Journal wrote that the renewed ceasefire is already under strain, and NPR that it stalls despite the agreement. The UN chief condemned the killing of a Serbian peacekeeper in Lebanon.
