Thousands of people returned to their homes Wednesday in Lebanon
celebrating the first day of the ceasefire between Israel and
the terror group. Hezbollah compromise is always difficult but
I think the ceasefire was the right decision in Israel
. Republican. Senator Lindsey Graham also celebrated the truce
which calls for an initial two month pause in fighting
. Graham said he has a plan to help ensure
a permanent outcome to pass sanctions in the Congress signed
by President Trump. Hopefully that would sanction any country
that took action against Israel because we're next. The
news of the cease fire was bittersweet for the families
of hostages who hoped an agreement would also lead to
the release of their loved ones. We feel this
is a missed opportunity but President Joe Biden is hopeful
that Israel Hezbollah cease fire leads to one for the
war in Gaza. We're determined this conflict will not
be just another cycle of violence. President Biden said
the terror group, Hamas has so far refused to
negotiate in good faith on a cease fire and hostage
release deal. So now Hamas has a choice to
make the president said in the coming days, the
US and its allies in the Middle East will ramp
up the pressure on Hamas even more to accept a
deal with Israel in Washington. I'm Jesse Tenor.
