Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel agreed to US President Donald Trump's ceasefire proposal in a statement on Tuesday morning.

The statement from Netanyahu's office noted that he had agreed to the ceasefire because Israel had achieved all of its war goals.

"Israel has removed an immediate existential threat on two fronts, both in the nuclear domain and in the field of ballistic missiles," the Tuesday statement was reported by The Jerusalem Post.
