Lebanon’s foreign minister Abdallah Bou Habib says he hopes a ceasefire to end fighting between Israel and Lebanese terror group Hezbollah will be agreed to later today.
He says that the Lebanese army will be ready to have at least 5,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon as Israeli troops withdraw, and that the United States could play a role in rebuilding infrastructure destroyed by Israeli strikes.
