Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel agreed to US President Donald Trump's proposed ceasefire in a statement on Tuesday morning, reports The Jerusalem Post.

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 read.

The statement emphasized that Israel would respond to any violations of the ceasefire if need be.
