The statement also calls on \u201cthe parties concerned\u201d in the current peace process in Lebanon to \u201crespect the ceasefire and to continue the implementation of [U.N. Security Council] Resolution 1701, urging them to assume their responsibilities and not to place the burden of the situation on Lebanon, which is the weakest link in the chain of peace demands \u2026 in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Security concerns spiked on 30 October, when Israeli forces carried out a ground<a href=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/lebanon-under-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> incursion in south Lebanon<\/a>, killing a municipal employee in Blida and prompting President Joseph Aoun to instruct the army to respond to any attempted incursion into Lebanese territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime Minister Nawaf Salam later stated his government was working \u201cday and night to ensure a complete Israeli withdrawal\u201d from Lebanon, as well as on the disarmament of Hezbollah across the country. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will enforce Lebanon\u2019s ceasefire with \u201can iron fist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith all the statements we hear coming from all sides, it is impossible not to feel concerned and troubled,\u201d Maronite Archbishop Charbel Abdallah of Tyre told CNEWA\u2019s&nbsp;<em>ONE<\/em>&nbsp;magazine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/skaff202510_028H1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A man and a woman light a candle.\" class=\"wp-image-17122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/skaff202510_028H1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/skaff202510_028H1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/skaff202510_028H1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/skaff202510_028H1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/skaff202510_028H1-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/skaff202510_028H1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cosette and her husband, Maroun Abi Rachid, live in Hadath outside Beirut.

The agreement requires Lebanon to seize Hezbollah\u2019s weapons in the South and contain the group by the end of 2025. Since then, the United States and Israel have added demands, including direct talks and a new disarmament deadline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Aoun accepted negotiations, but Hezbollah openly refused to \u201cabandon\u201d its weapons, saying \u201cthe ceasefire agreement exclusively concerns south of the Litani River, and that Israel must withdraw from Lebanon and release the prisoners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the ceasefire, Israel has conducted near daily airstrikes and drone strikes on south Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, as well as occasional bombardments on the southern suburbs of Beirut. On 10 November, the Israeli military conducted 15 air raids across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These strikes have killed 108 civilians between November 2024 and mid-October 2025, according to the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maronite Bishop Hanna Rahme of Baalbeck and Deir el Ahmar shepherds 80,000 faithful in the Bekaa Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany are already living in precarious conditions due to the economic crisis, and any new tension reignites their fears,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesuit Father Jad Chebli, chaplain at St. Joseph University of Beirut, has lived through several wars in Lebanon and had anticipated the fragility of this ceasefire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/IMG202511061419041-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/IMG202511061419041-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/IMG202511061419041-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/IMG202511061419041-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/IMG202511061419041-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/IMG202511061419041-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cnewa.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/IMG202511061419041.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jesuit Father Jad Chebli, chaplain at St. Joseph University of Beirut, believes the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is very fragile. (photo: Laure Delacoche)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He had helped provide shelter, meals, schooling and psychospiritual support for 350 displaced people in Bikfaya, 15 miles from Beirut, during last year\u2019s all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah. In December 2024, as families moved back to their homes in the South, he recommended that they leave their bedding behind in Bikfaya \u201cin case they had to return.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe people of Lebanon are fragile and vulnerable,\u201d he said. \u201cWe cannot disassociate today\u2019s situation from that of the past six years: the pandemic, the economic crisis and the [2020] blast at the Port of Beirut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is a feeling of weariness and a desire to live in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The war has depleted the church\u2019s financial resources, he said. However, should another generalized bombardment occur, the church would \u201cdo it all over again.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will put our trust in Providence, for it has never let us down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLiving in peace would be very good,\u201d he added. \u201cBut then it will be necessary to help the Lebanese people rebuild, assist them in the reconciliation process and heal their wounds. Otherwise, there will be no sustained stability in the country.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bishop Rahme recalled how Christians exercised love of neighbor during the all-out war.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany displaced Shiites were housed in Christian homes,\u201d transforming relationships between Shiite Muslims and Maronite Catholics across his eparchy, he said. While the situation was \u201ctiring \u2026 it was also very fruitful because it brought people together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI call on everyone to be a peacemaker, starting with their own hearts, families and communities,\u201d said Bishop Rahme, echoing the motto for Pope Leo XIV\u2019s visit to Lebanon at the end of the month: \u201cBlessed are the peacemakers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWar solves nothing; it destroys, impoverishes and divides,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Lebanese view the papal visit, scheduled from 30 November to 2 December, as a guarantee that all-out war will not break out before then.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archbishop Abdallah, whose archeparchy includes 14,000 families, said he invites \u201ceveryone to gather together and pray fervently\u201d that the pope\u2019s arrival in Lebanon \u201cwill be a moment when we reap peace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Israel ramps up
