The negotiations for a ceasefire in Lebanon are "in the final stages", according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to AFP. A ceasefire would also mean a possible path to peace in Gaza, he says.

Mikati is also asking the international community for help in ensuring that the ceasefire ends.

According to information in other media, the agreement means that Lebanon's state army will take over control of the areas in the southern parts of the country where Israel and Hezbollah have clashed in ground battles in recent months.

Netanyahu: Cease fire - now we can focus on Iran

The ceasefire with Hezbollah gives Israel the opportunity to focus on Iran. This is what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in a speech shortly after the proposal was approved.

- We are changing the entire Middle East, and we are doing it thanks to our brave soldiers.

Israel's warfare in Lebanon has greatly weakened Hezbollah, according to Netanyahu, who believes that the terror-classified group "was thrown back decades in its development".
