Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon under US-brokered agreement

Israel intends to withdraw from southern Lebanon following a US-brokered agreement, which could potentially stabilize the region and lead to lasting peace if Hezbollah complies. However, Israel continues to launch strikes in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah condemns the new deal. These ongoing military actions and the resulting conflict hinder the prospects for a diplomatic resolution, thereby reducing the likelihood of regional stability and impacting the overall stability of the markets during this period.
