The Israeli authorities will consider the issue of a ceasefire with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon tomorrow, November 25. The relevant agreement may be approved in the coming days, according to The Times of Israel, The Jerusalem Post, and Reuters.
According to The Times of Israel, tomorrow at 5:30 PM, a meeting of Israel's National Security Cabinet will take place at the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, where they are expected to discuss the ceasefire. The meeting will last at least until 9:00 PM.
At the same time, as reported by The Jerusalem Post, US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron may announce a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah tomorrow.
According to sources cited by the news agency, Israel still has objections regarding some details, which will be conveyed to the Lebanese government today.
Journalists further clarify that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has "in principle" approved the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, Lebanese Parliament Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab told Reuters that "there are no serious obstacles left" for the implementation of the proposed 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
According to Bou Saab, the proposal includes the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon and the deployment of regular Lebanese forces there.
The Deputy Speaker noted that the disputed issue was who would monitor the adherence to the ceasefire.
Notably, France will be part of the committee, despite the country's promise to enforce the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Ceasefire in Lebanon
Israel began its operation against Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon at the beginning of October. Tel Aviv explained that the goal was to bring back Israelis who had fled their homes due to constant attacks from militants.
Israeli media have already reported that Israel has given preliminary approval for a ceasefire in Lebanon.
