Trump hasn't even been sworn in and we've already got some potentially great news out of the Israel conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed "in principle" to a ceasefire with Lebanon and Hezbollah during a security consultation with officials on Sunday night.
The Israeli cabinet will vote on the deal on Tuesday, Netanyahu's spokesperson told CNN.
Israel still has reservations over some details of the agreement, which were expected to be transmitted to the Lebanese government on Monday, the source said.
Those and other details are still being negotiated and multiple sources stressed that the agreement will not be final until all issues are resolved.
A ceasefire agreement will also need to be approved by the Israeli cabinet, which has not yet occurred.
United States envoy Amos Hochstein spoke with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati last week, and says a deal is "within our grasp." The official claims they had a "very good discussion to narrow the gaps," but that ultimately the deal comes down to "the decision of the parties."
‘We have a real opportunity to bring conflict to an end," he added last week. 'The window is now.' He departed Lebanon for Israel on Wednesday to try to bring the negotiations ‘to a close.'
The deal includes a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which would at least get us to Trump's second term when even more progress could be made.
The Israeli cabinet is scheduled to vote on the ceasefire Tuesday, and we'll keep you updated on the results.
