A ceasefire in Lebanon could be announced within the upcoming hours or days, the Deputy Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, Elias Bou Saab, told Al Mayadeen on Monday.

Citing information relayed by US envoy Amos Hochstein, Bou Saab stated that the last disputed issue in the agreement had been resolved, but noted that Lebanon would remain wary because previous experiences with Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had proven to be "unencouraging".

Regarding certain details of the agreement, Bou Saab stated that it "will lead to the full withdrawal of Israeli forces to the armistice line and the cessation of aggression and hostilities."

He explained that the committee overseeing the implementation of the agreement is not authorized to operate beyond the provisions of Resolution 1701, noting that while it could potentially expand, it currently includes only the United States and France. 

Regarding the occupation's claim of "freedom of action" in Lebanon, Bou Saab emphasized, "We have neither heard nor been presented with anyone offering guarantees for any party to have freedom of movement."

He affirmed that any achievement of a ceasefire would be welcomed by all Lebanese factions.

Earlier, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "Israel" had agreed in principle to a settlement in Lebanon, citing Israeli and American sources. However, an Israeli source later claimed that while there is "readiness and intent in principle to move forward," certain issues remain on the agenda.
