Breaking On Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire: Netanyahu To Present Deal To Cabinet For Final Approval

Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Takes Effect: Truce Announcement Follows Strikes, Evacuations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday (Nov 26) said that he is ready to implement a ceasefire in Lebanon amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.

In his address, Netanyahu also said he would&nbsp;present the ceasefire accord to his full cabinet later in the evening.&nbsp;

The ceasefire agreement would put an end to the months-long conflict which has reportedly killed thousands across Lebanon. However, the Israeli PM also warned that Israel would "respond forcefully to any violation" by Hezbollah.

“The length of the ceasefire depends on what happens in Lebanon,” said Netanyahu, in a speech following an hours-long meeting with his security cabinet.&nbsp;

The agreement means Israel can focus on the “Iranian threat,” adding, “we are changing the face of the region,” said the Israeli PM.&nbsp;

Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah have been at war for several months now, a period that saw the killing of senior Hezbollah leadership including Hassan Nasrallah, the former chief of the group; Fuad Shukr, a top commander; Sami Taleb Abdallah and more.

Hezbollah over the past year launched several attacks on Israel but the tensions escalated after retaliation from the Israel&nbsp;Defense Forces (IDF) earlier this year.&nbsp;

PM Netanyahu has warned the group that Israel will not honour the ceasefire deal with Hezbollah if the Lebanon-based group breaks it. It is understood that the deal has been reached with the help of France and the United States.

He added, “If it sees that the cavalry is not on the way, that may incentivize it to do what it needs to do to end this conflict.”

Lebanon reported three deaths Tuesday in Israeli strikes on a&nbsp;Beirut&nbsp;building said to be housing displaced people, with state media describing a "belt of fire" around Hezbollah's south&nbsp;Beirut&nbsp;stronghold.

"The Israeli strike on the Nweiri area in&nbsp;Beirut&nbsp;destroyed a four-storey building housing displaced people," said Lebanon's official National News Agency, or NNA.

The health ministry said three people were killed and 26 wounded in the strikes on a densely populated area where people displaced by the Israeli aerial bombardment had sought refuge.

Israeli cabinet to vote on Hezbollah ceasefire deal after Netanyahu approves it 'in principle': Report

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved 'in principle' a ceasefire deal with Lebanon militant group Hezbollah during a security consultation with Israeli officials on Sunday night (Nov. 24), CNN reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.&nbsp;

The source said that Israel still has reservations over some details of the agreement, which were expected to be shared with the Lebanese government on Monday.&nbsp;

Apart from that, other details are also still being negotiated. Moreover, multiple sources said that the agreement would not be finalised until all issues are resolved.&nbsp;

As reported earlier today, Israel and Lebanon are on the verge of a ceasefire deal to end the conflict between Israel and Iran-aligned Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.&nbsp;

The talks are moving in a positive direction, towards an agreement, sources familiar with the negotiations said, adding that as Israel and Hezbollah continue to trade fire, one misstep could turn everything upside down.&nbsp;

According to the US-backed ceasefire proposal, there would be a 60-day cessation of hostilities that some hope could form the basis of a lasting ceasefire.

Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire for over a year in parallel with the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, 2023.&nbsp;
