Israel and Lebanon have officially accepted a US-backed proposal aimed at ending the 13-month border conflict that escalated into a full-scale war in September involving Hezbollah.
The agreement was announced from the White House's Rose Garden by US President Joe Biden, who emphasized that the deal is intended to bring about a permanent cessation of hostilities. The ceasefire is set to take effect at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday, following the announcement made on Tuesday evening.
