June 4 (Reuters) - Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told local outlets on Thursday that a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreed the previous evening between Lebanon and Israel could come into force within 24 hours of all concerned parties approving it.
The comments appeared to refer to Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which has yet to comment on the ceasefire announced after talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington. Hezbollah is opposed to the direct talks and has continued firing at Israeli troops in Lebanon. Israel has kept up strikes.
