Israeli official says ceasefire in Lebanon possible within two weeks
Israel can reach a ceasefire deal to end the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon within 10-14 days, an Israeli official tells Channel 12 news.
The US has been pushing for a ceasefire proposal that would restore calm to both sides of the Lebanon-Israel border more than a year after Hezbollah began launching missile and drone attacks against Israel on a near-daily basis.
The Kan public broadcaster on Wednesday published the details of what it said was a draft agreement drawn up by the US for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which forbids Hezbollah from maintaining a presence south of the Litani River.
