However, the negotiations are still ongoing and Israel is said to have objections to parts of the agreement.
At the same time refers Axios in turn to a senior US source who claims that an agreement on a ceasefire has already been reached and that it will be formally approved tomorrow, Tuesday.
– We think we have an agreement. We’re on the finish line but we haven’t gotten it approved yet. The Israeli cabinet must approve it on Tuesday and something can always go wrong until then, a source told the site.
Will move their weapons
The agreement will include a 60-day transition period during which the Israeli military will withdraw from southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah moves its weapons further north.
Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel on October 8, 2023 – the day after Hamas attacked the country.
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah then escalated even more when Israel launched a ground invasion against Lebanon on October 1 this year.
Thousands dead
Over 3,500 have been killed on the Lebanese side, many of them civilians.
Over 70 have been killed in Israel, including over 40 civilians.
Furthermore, over 50 Israeli soldiers have died in the ground offensive, reports say AP.
