Lebanon’s embassy in Washington says Hezbollah has accepted a U.S. proposal for a mutual cessation of hostilities with Israel. Multiple outlets, citing statements shared by Lebanese authorities, report that the arrangement is intended to cover all Lebanese territory. The embassy statement is described as being shared through the Lebanese presidency. Under the proposed terms, the first phase involves Israel refraining from striking Beirut’s southern suburbs in return for Hezbollah halting attacks against Israel. The reports also note that Israel had threatened action involving the capital’s suburbs on Monday, and the proposed exchange is presented as linked to that immediate risk. One account says the Lebanese President Joseph Aoun’s office publishes confirmation of Hezbollah’s acceptance, while another attributes similar details to the embassy’s statement and indicates the proposal’s scope and sequencing. The sources agree on Hezbollah’s acceptance and the broader goal of mutual cessation, but they do not provide additional detail on enforcement, timelines beyond the initial exchange, or verification mechanisms.
