Israel and Lebanon have accepted a US-backed proposal to end 13 months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. US President Joe Biden says the accord is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities, though many remain sceptical the truce will hold. SBS's Claudia Farhart spoke to Dr Andrew Thomas, lecturer in Middle East Politics and International relations at Deakin University and asked him what the ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel means to the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
