The US-proposed armistice will start at 4am local time
US President Joe Biden has announced that Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to Washington’s permanent ceasefire proposal, beginning at 4am local time on Wednesday.
Hostilities between Israel and the Shia militia based in southern Lebanon escalated in September, with the Israel Defense Forces launching a series of airstrikes and later deploying ground troops.
“I just spoke with the prime ministers of Israel and Lebanon,” Biden said on Tuesday, speaking in the Rose Garden of the White House. “I’m pleased to announce that their governments have accepted the US proposal to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.”
