Mr. Speaker, it would appear that Israeli army shelling of southern Lebanon has finally stopped, as reports of a ceasefire between Israel and pro-Iranian Hezbollah fighters are reaching us this morning. For the first time in 16 days, it would seem that peace has been restored to the region and there is every indication that a peace agreement could be negotiated after all.
Will the Minister of Foreign Affairs confirm that a ceasefire agreement was indeed reached by Israel and Hezbollah fighters and, if so, could he tell this House what the terms of this agreement are?
