Israel and Lebanon have agreed on a new ceasefire after US-mediated talks, raising hopes for progress towards ending the wider US-Israeli war with Iran.
Tehran has made a ceasefire in Lebanon a condition for any peace deal with Washington, and has suggested it could intervene directly in support of its proxy Hezbollah if Israel keeps up its attacks there.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said on Thursday the ceasefire would come into force within 24 hours of all concerned parties approving it, appearing to refer to Hezbollah, which has not commented on the agreement.
