Israel is set to agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, with the cabinet planning to meet on Tuesday to formally approve the agreement despite the protests of northern leaders and several coalition members, according to several reports by Israeli media.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with senior ministers and close affiliates on Tuesday morning to discuss the agreement, ahead of a cabinet meeting later in the day that is expected to grant formal approval.
An Israeli official told The Times of Israel (TOI) that Netanyahu gave the green light after reviewing the final draft of the agreement, which will include a side letter with the United States to guarantee Israeli freedom of action to enforce violations militarily.
Despite Israeli objections, the international committee monitoring the ceasefire will include involvement from France. Israel reportedly agreed to its involvement after France assured it would not enforce the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants against Netanyahu, according to TOI.
