Israel’s government confirmed on Tuesday morning it had agreed to the ceasefire plan, proposed by US President Donald Trump. Mr Trump first claimed an agreement had been reached overnight, but both Israel and Iran were initially silent. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his nation had agreed to the bilateral ceasefire in co-ordination with Tehran. It followed a final onslaught of missiles targeting Israel early on Tuesday, which killed at least four people. “Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire,” the Israeli prime minister warned.
