Ceasefire with Hezbollah may ease pressure on Israel's credit: Fitch

JERUSALEM, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- The ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon may limit strains on Israel's credit profile, Fitch Ratings said in a report on Thursday.

"A durable de-escalation of armed conflict between Israel and Hezbollah -- potentially as a result of the 60-day ceasefire that began on Nov. 27 -- could help to limit pressure on Israel's public finance metrics," the credit rating agency said.
