Under the terms of the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, Israel would withdraw from Lebanon’s southern areas in 60 days and Hezbollah would vacate the region and withdraw to north of the Litani river

Israel said on Thursday the terms of a ceasefire with Hezbollah were not being implemented fast enough and there was more work to do, while the Iran-backed group urged pressure to ensure Israeli troops leave south Lebanon by Monday as set out in the deal.

Israel's delay in implementing a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah is causing tensions. Despite positive movements by the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers, Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon is not progressing quickly enough.

Hezbollah called on Lebanon's political leadership on Thursday to act effectively to guarantee the complete Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. A 60-day deadline for Israeli troop withdrawal under a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon is set to expire on Jan.

The battlefield in Gaza also is changing. The first phase of the ceasefire allows Gaza’s nearly 2 million displaced people to leave crowded tent camps and return to what remains of their homes. This will allow Hamas to regroup in the midst of masses of civilians.

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza reduces the risks to Israel's public finances and could improve its sovereign credit rating, the major credit rating agencies said on Tuesday.

Negotiations have been taking place on extending the January 27 deadline to ensure the conflict isn’t resumed.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Thursday that the Jewish state has Washington’s “steadfast support,” according to Tammy Bruce, the U.S. State Department spokeswoman.
