A senior Israeli official indicated that Israel may stop fighting in Lebanon in the coming days, with a temporary cessation of hostilities expected to be formalized in an agreement with the United States. U.S. officials have confirmed that a ceasefire deal is close but still requires finalization. Reports suggest that a framework for a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah has been established, contingent on approval from the Israeli cabinet. U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein has communicated this decision to Lebanese officials, although the agreement's implementation is not guaranteed.
