An agreement for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon was announced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, effective November 27, 2024. The deal, negotiated by US envoy Amos Hochstein, mandates Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah's retreat north of the Litani River over 60 days.
The Lebanese Armed Forces will gradually deploy in the area, supported by an increased presence of UN peacekeepers. The agreement aims to prevent a recurrence of the 2006 conflict and has been welcomed by US President Biden and French President Macron, who emphasized the need for lasting calm.

While the ceasefire is seen as a step toward stability, Hezbollah's influence remains a concern. The Lebanese army's ability to control the situation is crucial, as officials from Hezbollah indicated they would return stronger.

Fox News: History of the Thanksgiving turkey pardon: When the White House began the long-held holiday tradition
The White House turkey pardoning ceremony, a Thanksgiving tradition formalized 77 years ago, has roots dating back to the 1800s when presidents received turkeys as gifts. The practice of officially pardoning the turkey began in 1989 with George H.W. Bush.
Since then, every president has continued the tradition, with President Biden recently pardoning two turkeys, marking his last ceremony in office. Critics have labeled the event as merely a photo opportunity, but it remains a festive highlight of the holiday season.
