Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved a ceasefire deal in principle between Israel and Lebanon, which aims to reduce tensions along their shared border. The agreement, designed to prevent further escalation, is expected to be put to a vote in Israel’s cabinet on Tuesday. If approved, the deal could signal a significant step toward calming hostilities, with both sides reportedly seeking a resolution to avoid broader conflict. The ceasefire would be crucial in stabilizing the region during ongoing instability.
Netanyahu has given “in principle” approval to a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, a source told CNN, indicating his potential endorsement after discussions with Israeli officials on Sunday night. While talks are progressing positively, sources cautioned that the ongoing exchange of fire between Israel and Hezbollah could still derail the agreement. A Lebanese official later stated that a ceasefire announcement is expected within 24 hours. Lebanon and Hezbollah have agreed to the US-backed proposal. However, in Israel, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir criticized the deal as a major mistake, seeing it as a missed opportunity to defeat Hezbollah.
