The proposed ceasefire agreement is based on the terms of the UN Security Council resolution 1701 which was adopted in 2006 to manage to end a month-long war between Israel and Hezbollah.It intended to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon but the implementation on a full scale failed due to pushback on both sides.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging Israel's security Cabinet to approve a ceasefire with Hezbollah, paving the way for a possible pause in over a year of fighting with the Iran-backed group.
