The historic vote called for a 60-day ceasefire while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Hezbollah terrorists evacuate southern Lebanon.
“I support its approval and will present the cease-fire to the entire cabinet in Jerusalem,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in a televised speech.
In a televised speech, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he supports its approval and will bring the cease-fire deal to the cabinet’s full meeting in Jerusalem.
According to an Israeli official who spoke to CNN, the Israeli security council later approved the agreement to put an end to the conflict with Hezbollah. A 60-day halt in fighting with Hezbollah is the goal of the proposal, which might serve as the foundation for a long-term truce.
Netanyahu added that the deal was reached after Israel successfully took down Hezbollah’s infrastructure, leadership, ranks, and secret bunkers along the border.
Under the agreement, hundreds of thousands of displaced residents in Israel and Lebanon would be able to return to their homes after more than a year of daily missile assaults, with oversight from a five-nation monitoring council headed by the United States.
As part of the ceasefire agreement, Israel is also guaranteed to have a military presence close to the border and to strike back at any Hezbollah attacks in the future.
In order to prevent Hezbollah from carrying out its daily strikes on Israel, the deal urges the Lebanese army to take the initiative to clear the terrorist organization’s border as it advances north of the Litani River.
