As we’ve been reporting, the Israeli cabinet will vote today on a proposal that would see an initial 60-day truce between its military and Hezbollah.
Under the proposal, Israeli soldiers would withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah would withdraw fighters and weapons south of the Litani River – which lies about 30km (18 miles) from Lebanon’s border with Israel.
Hezbollah fighters in that area would be replaced by troops from the Lebanese Army.
Among the details of the agreement are a mutual ceasefire and no Israeli-occupied buffer zone in southern Lebanon, Israel’s Channel 12 reports.
Channel 12 also says Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would maintain a presence in Lebanon for up to 60 days, and the Lebanese government will oversee the purchase and production of weapons in the country as its army replaces the IDF as it withdraws.
The US would head a five-country committee that would monitor the ceasefire and, the reports say, it would issue a letter recognising Israel’s right to attack Lebanon if Hezbollah is perceived to be in violation of the agreement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agrees to the deal “in principle”, external, the Times of Israel reports. The Lebanese deputy speaker of parliament, Elias Bou Saab, told Reuters that there were “no serious obstacles” to the deal “unless Netanyahu changes his mind”.
