Regarding whom?
To Hizbollah, not worth the paper it's printed (or depending on the party to the cease-fire, scrawled) on.
To Israel, to be kept only as long as it's in the nation's best interests.
To Lebanon, a reprieve from getting the heck bombarded out of it by any other country (Syria usually does it when Israel's not portrayed as the bully of the Middle East).
To the United Nations, a smokescreen for taking over the responsibilities of providing the necessities of life -- badly -- in a volatile part of the world and eventually taking it over entirely.
To the United States, a problem disguised as an opportunity.
To the rest of the world -- we shall see.

Ridiculous. What did you think of the last one? Or the one before that?... Or the one before that? Or how about the UN mandate that Hezbollah disarm? Hmmmm, perhaps this cease fire is not really in the best interest of Israel. What do you think of it?

It's just another chance for terrorists to reorganize for the next big attack. Why do you think the UN jumped on this so quick? Any idea why they don't garner a 'cease fire' in Iraq?
Think about it.

It is unfortunate. Israel was not able to significantly damage Hezbollah. And their strategy is wholly to blame. They targeted areas that were much too heavy with civilians and as a result they lost the media war. Even though Hezbollah was raining rockets on civilians in Israel, the Media focused on the terrible artillery and air strikes conducted by the Israelis.
I hope that Israel is using the ceasefire to infiltrate special forces into the area in order to more surgically remove Hezbollah.

Israel didn't want it, but because of huge external presure, they put it in action, anyway they are just waiting for the slightest act of violence from Lebanon to atack again!!
