The proposed deal is said to resemble the United Nations Security Council resolution which ended the 2006 war, but with more international support to push the Iran-backed armed group away from the border with Israel and bolster regular Lebanese army troops deploying there when Israeli forces withdraw.

The ceasefire is a major step toward ending nearly 14 months of fighting sparked by the ongoing war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.

Israel launched an offensive in Lebanon in mid-September following months of tit-for-tat border attacks sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.
