The draft resolution proposed by UN Security Council is a ceasefire resolution and is ready to go onto the diplomatic table. That sure took some time.

Will the proposed ceasefire stop things from getting worse. Will it be accepted?
Since it is a ceasefire resolution--- not a political mopping up operation by the US after the successful Israeli military destruction of Hizbullah as was initially envisaged---the ceasefire indicates how the political landscape has changed. Hizbullah has not been neutralized by the Israeli's with support from the US. Hizbullah has gained legitimacy as a credible deterrent against any Israeli aggression in Lebanon.
Meanwhile the war will go on for a while.
