Earlier this week, Avhisai Stern, mayor of Kiryat Shmona, a city in northern Israel, commented on the arrival of envoys from U.S. President Joe Biden, who are in the region to help advance a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. In an interview with the Israeli news portal Ynet, Stern said, "The key is not what is written in the agreement, but how it is enforced or how its implementation is guaranteed afterwards."
The mayor expressed skepticism about the current conditions, stating that he does not believe they are conducive to an agreement that would ensure enforcement.
