A senior US official told Reuters on Friday that Israel and Hezbollah have agreed on a ceasefire set to enter effect at 16:00 Jerusalem time, according to a report shared by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The official provided no additional details on the terms, scope, or duration of the agreement. The report has not been corroborated by Israeli or Lebanese sources as of publication, and no statement from the IDF, the Prime Minister’s Office, or Hezbollah has been issued. The claim comes amid weeks of diplomatic efforts by the Trump administration to mediate a halt to hostilities on the Lebanon front, which The Zioneer has covered extensively — including reported U.S. demands for a permanent ceasefire (June 18) and indirect contacts over a possible Hezbollah halt to rocket fire (June 3). At this stage, the announcement rests on a single source, and the desk treats it with caution pending official confirmation or denial.
