ISRAEL: Sec Cab Set To Approve Lebanon Ceasefire Despite Pushback

ISRAEL

Ahead of the meeting of Israel's Security Cabinet at 1730 local (1030ET, 1530GMT) that is expected to finalise the acceptance of a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, there remains criticism of the agreement from both sides of the political spectrum. Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from the ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit (OY) said the agreement represented a "historical missed opportunity" to destroy Hezbollah, while opposition National Unity leader Benny Gantz said that stopping military operations in Lebanon would represent doing only “half the job”.

  • On the other side of the deal, Hezbollah's Iranian backers are believed to be pushing the group towards accepting a ceasefire agreement. Israel's N24 reports that for the past month, Tehran has been impressing upon Hezbollah its preference that a ceasefire agreement be put in place.
  • The deal has also been criticised by community leaders in the north of Israel, claiming that even with a ceasefire in place the region will not be safe to return to without a full buffer zone. An Israeli gov't spox claims the deal will 'maintain Israel's freedom of operation to act in defence to remove the Hezbollah threat'.
  • In spite of the wide range of opponents to a deal, it looks increasingly likely that the minimum 60-day ceasefire will be implemented. As ToI reports, Israeli officials are hopeful that a ceasefire with Hezbollah will push Hamas towards softening its stance in ceasefire talks in Gaza.
  • The meeting of the Security Cabinet is expected to continue until around 2100 local (1400ET, 1900GMT).
