Hezbollah Agrees to U.S. Ceasefire Proposal

Lebanon's embassy in Washington announced Hezbollah's acceptance of a U.S. proposal for a mutual halt in hostilities, covering all of Lebanon. The agreement starts with Israel and Hezbollah refraining from attacks, aiming for a full ceasefire, which Hezbollah sees as a step toward Israeli troop withdrawal.

Lebanon's embassy in Washington announced on Monday that Hezbollah has accepted a U.S. proposal for a mutual cessation of hostilities. The ceasefire is to be extended across all Lebanese territory, marking a significant move towards reducing regional tensions.

This arrangement begins with Israel agreeing to refrain from striking Beirut's southern suburbs in exchange for Iran-backed Hezbollah halting its attacks on Israel. The Lebanese presidency shared this agreement on X, indicating a shift in the recent hostilities.

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah, speaking to the group's Al-Manar broadcaster, emphasized their commitment to supporting a complete ceasefire. He noted that this would be a crucial step before the withdrawal of Israeli troops, observing closely the adherence to the cessation of hostilities in coming days.
