Cabinet meeting in Israel today on ceasefire with Lebanon, Netanyahu approves.

 

The Israeli Cabinet will meet today at the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv to discuss a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon. The meeting is scheduled to take place between 5:30 pm and 9 pm (local time). According to sources, this comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave its in-principle approval.

PM Netanyahu signaled his possible approval for the emerging ceasefire with Hezbollah during security consultations with Israeli officials on Sunday night. Netanyahu's spokesman said the Israeli cabinet will vote on the proposed deal today and it is expected to pass.

Confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah continues.

However, the report said that Israel still has doubts about some details of the agreement, which was expected to be sent to the Lebanese government on Monday. He said that the agreement will not be final until all the issues are resolved. Sources said that the talks are moving positively towards an agreement. But the confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah continues, so one wrong move could end the talks.

expressed strong opposition to the agreement

Israel's national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, has strongly opposed the deal, calling it a huge mistake and a historic missed opportunity to eliminate Hezbollah. Ben Gvir has also long worked to thwart potential ceasefire agreements between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Benny Gantz, who resigned from Israel's war cabinet in June over Netanyahu's handling of the war in Gaza, called on the prime minister to make the details of the ceasefire agreement public. Gantz said residents of the north, fighters and Israeli citizens have a right to know.

Israel-Lebanon ceasefire

Last week, US envoy Amos Hochstein said in Beirut that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon is in our hands, but it is ultimately the decision of the parties. Let us tell you that there has been a long-running conflict between Israel and Lebanon, which began on October 8 last year, when Hezbollah attacked Israeli-controlled territory in solidarity with Hamas and Palestinians in Gaza.

Talks continue for ceasefire

The incident sparked a series of attacks along the border, which escalated into a massive military offensive launched by Israel in mid-September. The conflict has seen a ground invasion by Israel, resulting in several deaths. Hezbollah leaders, including its founder Hassan Nasrallah, have been assassinated and thousands injured by pager explosions. The situation remains volatile, and negotiations for a ceasefire are ongoing.
