"I will present the ceasefire outline with Hezbollah to the full cabinet for approval," Netanyahu said in a televised statement.

The ceasefire would end nearly 14 months of exchanges of fire along the Lebanese-Israeli border linked to the ongoing Israeli war in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu emphasized that the agreement would allow Israel to focus on the “Iranian threat.”

“We are changing the face of the region,” he added.

Netanyahu claimed that Hezbollah in Lebanon is no longer the same after Israel's military killed its senior commanders, including the group's former leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

The prime minister further noted that under the terms of the deal, any attempts by Hezbollah to rearm would be considered a violation, warning that Israel would "respond severely" to any such actions.

In closing, Netanyahu affirmed, “An agreement can be enforced, and we will enforce it.”

Mohamed Damati, a senior Hezbollah leader, told Al Jazeera that the Lebanese government and the resistance will look closer self at what Netanyahu agreed to before making their decision.

He stressed that Hezbollah and the government would never agree to any wording in the deal that violates Lebanese sovereignty.

“Netanyahu is a war criminal who is experienced in deceit and manoeuvres and it is logical not to trust him,” Damati stressed.

Following Netanyahu announcement, Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati demanded in a statement on Tuesday that the international community "act swiftly" to halt Israeli aggression "and implement an immediate ceasefire".
