The United States and France are reportedly set to announce a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, following reports a deal has been approved in principle by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The proposed ceasefire involves a 60-day transition period during which the Israeli military would withdraw from southern Lebanon, the Lebanese army would deploy in areas close to the border and Hezbollah would move north of the Litani River.
The Israeli government has yet to sign off on the deal, but multiple outlets report Israel’s cabinet would sign off on the deal when it meets on Tuesday to discuss the matter.
Reuters reported that US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron are expected to announce a ceasefire within 36 hours, citing four well placed Lebanese sources.
US media outlet Axios reported a senior US official saying early Tuesday Australian time: “Israel and Lebanon have agreed to the terms of a ceasefire agreement to end the Israel- Hezbollah conflict.” The parties have not yet announced an agreement.
“We think we have a deal. We are on the goal line but we haven’t passed it yet,’’ one source told the outlet.
“The Israeli cabinet needs to approve the deal on Tuesday and something can always go wrong until then.’’
Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported the US had told Lebanese officials a ceasefire with Israel could be announced “within hours.”
