Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has expressed hope that a ceasefire to end Israel’s attack on Lebanon could be announced within days as Israeli media published what it said was a draft truce agreement providing for an initial 60-day cessation of fighting.
Mikati said he became more optimistic about the possibility of a truce after speaking on Wednesday with the United States envoy for the Middle East, Amos Hochstein, who was due to travel to Israel on Thursday.
