Israel and Lebanon Nearing Ceasefire Agreement

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah "in principle," though some details remain unresolved and need further negotiation. The agreement, which requires Israeli cabinet approval, is being mediated by U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein, who has urged both parties to finalize the deal soon. Despite positive progress, ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah pose a risk to the talks. The ceasefire aims to end the conflict that escalated after Israel's military offensive in Lebanon, which followed border attacks by Hezbollah.
