Lakhdar Brahimi, UN peace envoy, said he hoped a longer-term arrangement could be agreed upon.

BBC News reported UN peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said he hoped the break in violence might serve as an opportunity to "discuss a longer and more effective ceasefire."

But the country's foreign ministry said no truce had been explicitly agreed upon, and that an official decision would come Thursday. 

Not all opposition groups are on board either. The al-Nusra Front said it wouldn't be tricked into playing "filthy games" with the government. The primary rebel group, the Free Syrian Army, said it would participate in a ceasefire, though Gen. Mustafa al-Sheikh added, "It is impossible that the regime will implement the truce, even if it says it will."
