The proposed plan includes the withdrawal of Hezbollah from southern Lebanon and the Israeli army from the region, with control handed to the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers.
The US is actively involved in negotiations, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken citing 'good progress' in talks aimed at reducing tensions in the region.
