Israel set to accept Lebanon ceasefire to be declared on Tuesday, despite protests from northern mayors

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.

Prime Minister Netanyahu in the marathon of talks throughout the evening: The cease-fire agreement is not ideal, but there is a real danger that the US will impose on us in the United Nations Security Council a unilateral decision to stop the war, when on the one hand there will be sanctions against us if we do not stop, and on the other hand we will not have freedom of action in case of violation. If this happens - we will get both a ceasefire and no agreement - so if it is possible to postpone the end for two months and we have an American commitment to strike for any violation, it is surely better than the alternative.

Do you get it?
The Biden administration is threatening Netanyahu.

 
Ceasefire in Lebanon to be announced at 10 p.m., takes effect at 10 a.m.
A ceasefire in Lebanon will be announced at 10 p.m. by the United States and France, according to Lebanese channel Al Jadeed.

Presidents Biden and Macron will announce the deal during the night, with the alleged agreement set to take effect at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

This comes after several days of strained last-minute negotiation, in which Israel pushed for the removal of France as guarantor of the security situation in Lebanon, citing current diplomatic tensions between France and Israel.

Sounds like something going to happen with Iran. If that is the price of dealing with Iran, they can go back to Hezbollah later, once the head of the snake is cut off.

But otherwise it's sounding like Biden forced things, probably holding some of the weapons needed to deal with Iran hostage to ensure Israel's compliance.
