Sri Lanka hopeful Israel – Lebanon ceasefire will bring peace, stability

Sri Lanka on Wednesday welcomed the announcement of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, the Foreign Ministry in a statement said.

“We remain hopeful that the ceasefire will pave the way for enduring peace and stability in Lebanon and in the region”, the statement said. Foreign Media said that thousands of Lebanese displaced by the war between Israel and Hezbollah militants returned home on Wednesday as a ceasefire took hold, driving cars stacked with personal belongings and defying warnings from Lebanese and Israeli troops to avoid some areas.

If it endures, the ceasefire would end nearly 14 months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which escalated in mid-September into all-out war.
