Israel has given preliminary approval to a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon , Ynet reported, citing several sources.
Israel’s draft agreement with the Shiite Hezbollah movement includes a 60-day transition period during which the Israeli military is to leave southern Lebanon. After that, the Lebanese army is expected to be deployed in areas close to the border, and Hezbollah will move its heavy weapons north of the Litani River. The initiative is to be overseen by a US- led committee .
Before this, the US threatened Israel to refuse consultations on Lebanon.
