Times Of Israel: Why a ceasefire with a potent Hezbollah, but not with a weak, hostage-holding Hamas?
The Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire is underway, but its stability is uncertain. Israel warns that Hezbollah members are returning to border areas, complicating the situation as the Lebanese Army is unprepared to take over. Critics argue that the ceasefire terms are fragile, relying on Hezbollah's compliance.
Prime Minister Netanyahu cites the need to address Iran, provide IDF relief, and isolate Hamas as reasons for the ceasefire, yet his critics question why he agreed to this with Hezbollah while refusing similar terms for Gaza. The situation raises concerns about the fate of hostages and the broader implications for Israel's security.
Times Of Israel: Full text: The Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal
A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon has been reached, facilitated by the U.S. and France. Both countries commit to halting hostilities, with Lebanon preventing Hezbollah from attacking Israel and Israel refraining from offensive operations in Lebanon.
The deal emphasizes the implementation of UNSCR 1701, including disarming non-state armed groups and regulating arms in Lebanon. The U.S. is also reportedly providing assurances to Israel regarding its right to self-defense and intelligence sharing.
Breitbart: Biden: U.S. to Renew Hostage Deal Efforts After Lebanon Ceasefire
President Biden announced that the administration's recent success in negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah could lead to renewed efforts for a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas in Gaza, where 101 hostages remain. Hamas has shown some willingness to negotiate after Hezbollah's agreement with Israel.
Biden's broader diplomatic strategy includes a proposed peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, though his administration has complicated this by insisting on the creation of a Palestinian state. The lack of new countries joining the Abraham Accords during his term reflects challenges stemming from previous foreign policy decisions.

Forbes: Fed’s Favored Inflation Metric Ticked Up To 6-Month High In October
Core inflation rose to a multi-month high in October, with the personal consumption expenditures index increasing by 2.3% and core PCE inflation at 2.8% year-over-year. This marks the highest core inflation rate since April and remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target.
The upward trend in inflation raises concerns about the impact of tariffs proposed by President-elect Donald Trump, which could delay the return to the desired 2% inflation rate. Economists predict that these tariffs may moderately increase inflation forecasts while still allowing for a gradual decline in prices.
Forbes: Gas, Electronics And Groceries Could Become Pricier Under Trump’s Proposed Tariffs Against Mexico And Canada
President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada on his first day back in office, citing issues related to migration and drug trafficking. He also intends to raise tariffs on China by 10%. The proposed tariffs could lead to significant price increases for consumer goods, including gas, groceries, and vehicles, raising concerns about inflation and economic impact.
The tariffs would complicate trade relationships, particularly affecting crude oil and agricultural imports, as both Canada and Mexico are key suppliers to the U.S. Critics, including Canadian and Mexican leaders, have expressed strong opposition, warning of potential retaliatory measures.
