Tuesday is the date that the war cabinet will meet to finalize its decisions.

US President Joe Biden, and French President Emmanuel Macron will announce a ceasefire of 60 days between Israel and Hezbollah Tuesday evening, Saudi news outlet Al-Sharq Al-Awast said Monday night.

The War Cabinet is scheduled to meet the same day in order to approve a ceasefire which would end hostilities along Israel’s northern border. Reuters reported that an Israeli official said that the cabinet will convene in order to discuss a possible deal which could be finalized within the next few days.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, approved a ceasefire “in principle” with Lebanon during a meeting with Israeli officials Sunday evening. He cited outstanding issues that needed to be resolved before approval.

1776 Coalition Sponsored It’s Back to the Future 5 years later & AOC is still beating her antisemitic, anti-Israel drum. Unfortunately, her influence is only growing, and the media is happy to give her a bullhorn anytime she wants one. If you’ve had enough of AOC, then help us start the efforts to remove her from Congress early so we succeed! It’s time to Protect American Values!

Sources said Israel has some reservations regarding certain details. These will be reportedly transferred to the Lebanese Government on Monday.

Elias Bou Saab told Reuters that on Monday, there were no “serious obstacles” to the start of a 60-day ceasefire proposed by the US to end fighting between Israel’s terror group Hezbollah and Lebanon.

Bou Saab stated that there appeared to be no major obstacles to the implementation of the US-proposed ceasefire agreement.

Bou Saab stated that the proposal includes a 60-day deadline for Israeli forces to leave Lebanese territories, allowing the Lebanese Army to move to the southern Lebanon.

The spokesman said that one of the main points being discussed is who will monitor the ceasefire. A five-country monitoring committee, which includes France, would be established, under the United States’ chairmanship.

A Lebanese and Western diplomat both told Reuters the US informed Lebanese authorities that a ceasefire announcement could be made “within hours.”

After announcing the ICC warrants, France, the country that Lebanon wanted to be involved in the negotiations, showed restraint. Netanyahu was not happy with the party that oversees agreement implementation.

Axios reports that US President Joe Biden talked with French President Emmanuel Macron in an attempt to find a solution. According to the report, Biden said that Macron was entitled to be angry with Netanyahu and that he would not be able to mediate between the parties if one pledged to arrest the leader of state from one of the parties.

Both sides of the Israel/Lebanon border have seen thousands of people displaced, resulting in a large number of deaths of Israeli and Lebanese citizens.

Israel’s motivation for finalizing ceasefire

Reports from the international media overnight suggested that significant American guarantees are on the table. Some sources cited Israel as the reason for finalizing the ceasefire now.

Israeli state broadcaster KAN quoted Israeli sources stating that an agreement with Lebanon could already be reached by this week.

Israeli officials responded to reports that a ceasefire was imminent.

Gideon Saar, the Foreign Minister of Israel, said that any ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon will depend on Hezbollah being disarmed away from borders.

The test of any agreement is not to be found in the words, but rather in the implementation of two key points. Saar stated in broadcast remarks that the first goal is to prevent Hezbollah’s movement south beyond the Litani River, and the second is to stop Hezbollah’s rebuilding and rearming of its forces in Lebanon.

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, called the agreement reached with Lebanon “a mistake”. It was a historic opportunity lost to eliminate Hezbollah. “I understand the constraints and reasons and it’s still a grave error,” he wrote in a post on social media platform X.

Danny Danon is Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations. He said that negotiations were progressing, but denied Israel should cease all attacks on southern Lebanon.
