Hezbollah is reportedly reviewing a US-Israeli ceasefire proposal, as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between the Lebanese militant group and Israel gain momentum, sources told CNN.

The proposal was relayed to Lebanese authorities on Thursday evening by US Ambassador to Lebanon Lisa Johnson.

Officials are cautiously optimistic that Hezbollah will accept the terms outlined in the proposal, with an official response expected next Monday.

“Diplomatic efforts are on fire now,” one source remarked, underscoring the heightened activity in Beirut, where political leaders are extensively deliberating the American initiative.

According to sources, the latest proposal aims for a 60-day cessation of hostilities, forming the groundwork for a more durable ceasefire. The terms are said to align with United Nations Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Lebanon-Israel war. The resolution requires the exclusive presence of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and UN peacekeeping troops south of the Litani River.

The proposal also includes provisions for Israeli ground forces currently operating in southern Lebanon to withdraw behind the internationally recognized border between the two nations. Enforcement mechanisms for Hezbollah’s retreat from southern Lebanon and the LAF’s role in maintaining security in the area remain central sticking points.

“The points mainly focus on the mechanism of implementation and on the role of the Lebanese Armed Forces in implementing 1701 in the south of the Litani River,” said a Lebanese official, adding that the plan also addresses smuggling routes across Lebanon’s international borders.

The negotiations are being spearheaded by US Special Envoy Amos Hochstein under the Biden administration, with input from President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team. Trump has reportedly endorsed the ongoing diplomatic efforts, signaling his support without directly engaging due to the Logan Act, which prohibits unauthorized negotiations with foreign governments.

US officials are eager to finalize the deal soon, though there is debate over timing. Some Israeli officials are pushing to conclude the agreement before Trump assumes office, framing it as a “gift” for the incoming administration. Others advocate for immediate action to address tensions on Israel’s northern border.

For Trump’s team, resolving the issue without appearing to pressure Israel is critical. This shared interest in de-escalation has created momentum for the deal, despite the complexities surrounding its enforcement and Lebanon’s internal political dynamics.
