US attempts to broker ceasefire as civilians killed in Lebanon and Israel
Senior US officials are engaged in talks with Israel to broker a ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon amid escalating violence resulting in civilian casualties. Lebanon's caretaker prime minister expressed pessimism about a quick resolution due to Israel's continued military actions. The conflict has led to significant loss of life and displacement in both Lebanon and Israel, with Israeli airstrikes and Hezbollah rocket attacks causing numerous deaths. The US-proposed ceasefire deal resembles the 2006 agreement, but its acceptance by Lebanon and Hezbollah remains uncertain. Meanwhile, tensions persist in the West Bank, with Israeli military operations targeting Hamas militants and accusations of damage to UN facilities.

Israeli military attacks worsen Lebanese university crises
The ongoing Israeli military attacks on Lebanon, primarily targeting Hezbollah, have severely impacted the country's higher education sector, exacerbating existing financial and economic challenges. A recent ceasefire, brokered by the United States, offers a temporary reprieve. The conflict has displaced over a million people, including students and faculty, and caused significant damage to university campuses. Despite these challenges, Lebanese universities have remained operational, adopting hybrid learning models. The Ministry of Education and Higher Education, supported by UNESCO, is working to prevent the loss of the academic year. However, the financial crisis, worsened by the conflict, continues to pose significant challenges, with universities struggling to retain faculty and support students. The situation is further complicated by the risk of a brain drain as international scholarships attract Lebanese students abroad.

War in the Middle East: Reports of Imminent Ceasefire in Lebanon
A potential ceasefire agreement in Lebanon is under discussion, with Israel's security cabinet expected to deliberate on it.
