Lebanese presidency says Hezbollah accepted US ceasefire proposal

The Lebanese presidency says it has “received confirmation of Hezbollah’s agreement to the US proposal, which calls for a reciprocal cessation of attacks”.

According to a statement posted on X, the proposal would halt Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs in exchange for Hezbollah refraining from carrying out attacks against Israel.

The presidency said the ceasefire would be “expanded to encompass all Lebanese territories”.

Further talks are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday “to discuss this progress and build upon it”.
