Lebanese government on Saturday approved a UN resolution calling for an end to hostilities with Israel, Britain's Sky News television reported.

Lebanon's Cabinet unanimously approved the UN resolution, with some reservations, Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora was quoted as saying.

The Lebanese government made the decision after intense discussion during a four-hour cabinet meeting.

"Reservations" came due to the resolution did not condemn the Israeli destructions in Lebanon, expressed two Hezbollah members in the cabinet meeting, saying that "gives the impression that it exonerates Israel of responsibility for the crimes" and blames Hezbollah for the month-long war.

The government's acceptance of the UN resolution came hours after Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said that his guerrilla group would abide by any ceasefire brokered by the United Nations and would not block the approval of the resolution by the government.

On late Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert accepted the UN resolution.

However, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said on Saturday that Israel would press ahead with its military offensive in south Lebanon until the cabinet approved the ceasefire deal.

The Israeli cabinet was expected to vote on the resolution on Sunday.

On Friday, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution 1701 that calls for Israel's withdrawal and authorizes an increase of the existing UN force in Lebanon to 15,000 troops to help Lebanese troops take control of south Lebanon as Israel withdraws.

Violence between Israel and Hezbollah entered the 32nd day on Saturday, leaving over 1,000 Lebanese and about 120 Israelis dead since the fighting began on July 12.
