Read the full account
On 27 November 2024 a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect after months of war that included the killing of Hassan Nasrallah. Netanyahu was prime minister.
Context
The US and France sat as brokers. Neighbouring Gaza war continued. He did not write Hezbollah’s acceptance.
Nasrallah’s killing is neighbouring. The Gaza war is a different front.
The Prime Minister of Israel chairs the cabinet, is the political principal of the IDF, and can table Knesset bills. He does not write a Hamas military order, an ICC judgment, a US presidential proclamation, or a UN Security Council resolution.
Why it matters
The path is humanitarian access and displacement: a completed northern ceasefire is a dated de-escalation instrument.
Who was responsible

What the sources establish
Prime Minister's Office of Israel carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.
Established: 27 November 2024 Israel–Hezbollah ceasefire taking effect, independently reported.
Not established: that Hezbollah disarmed, or a unique later reconstruction coefficient for southern Lebanon from that hour.
Hezbollah agreed. US and French brokers sat.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies A US-brokered Israel–Hezbollah ceasefire takes effect in Lebanon, not a later speech about A US-brokered Israel–Hezbollah ceasefire takes effect in Lebanon.
Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He authorised the Israeli side. Hezbollah agreed. US and French brokers sat. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
