Israeli, American, and Lebanese officials are currently working towards a short-term ceasefire agreement to halt the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah for a minimum of one month, as revealed by an Israeli official. The proposed ceasefire would provide a window for negotiations aimed at reaching a final resolution to end the hostilities between the two parties and implement UN Resolution 1701.
Reports indicate that US envoys, Amos Hochstein and Bret McGurk, are scheduled to visit Israel for discussions regarding the situation in Lebanon. The Israeli government has assessed that the current circumstances are conducive to pursuing a ceasefire in Lebanon, citing significant progress in weakening Hezbollah and the mounting pressure exerted on the militant group by the Lebanese government.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently convened a security forum to review the developments in the negotiations for an international agreement. The official emphasized that Israel's military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon have achieved their objectives, indicating that further action may not yield substantial results.
While the exact duration of the temporary ceasefire is still under deliberation, it is expected to last for at least one month, according to the official sources.
