Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati expects a ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel to be announced within the next few days. Najib Mikati made this comment after a meeting with Amos Hochstein, the US ambassador in Beirut. Reuters reported this in a report on Wednesday (October 30).

According to reports, the draft ceasefire agreement is being prepared by the United States. Mikati told Lebanon's Al Jadeed TV station, 'The US ambassador advised me that; We can reach an agreement by the end of the month and before November 5'.

"We are doing everything we can and we should be hopeful that we will have a ceasefire in the next few hours or days," Mikati said.

Meanwhile, Israeli broadcaster Kan reported that the leaked cease-fire proposal was made by the United States. It has been said that Israel will withdraw its forces from Lebanon within the first week of the 60-day ceasefire.

Israel and Hezbollah did not immediately comment on the report.

And Israel's national security spokesman, Sean Savett, said, 'There have been many reports and drafts that have been circulated that do not reflect the current state of negotiations'.

Israel has launched a ground campaign in southern Lebanon since last September and is also carrying out massive airstrikes on various targets, including the capital Beirut.

Israel has claimed that it was forced to evacuate 60,000 residents from border settlements after the start of the Gaza war last year due to fears of Hezbollah attacks. A ground attack is being carried out in Lebanon to bring those residents home.

In a televised address on Wednesday, Hezbollah's new chief, Naeem Kassem, hinted at a ceasefire with occupying Israel. But he also informed that if Israel wants to continue the war then they are ready.

Hezbollah has been launching missile and drone strikes against Israel on an almost daily basis. After more than a year, the US is pressing Israel to propose a cease-fire in Gaza. Which will calm the situation on the border between Lebanon and Israel.
