Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday that the Israeli Security Cabinet has approved a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, although he stressed that Israel will “retain the right to strike Hezbollah” if the militant group violates the terms of the deal.
Netanyahu confirmed that he will present the full ceasefire plan to the cabinet for final approval, and the agreement is expected to come into effect on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
In a statement, Netanyahu emphasized that any breach of the ceasefire by Hezbollah would trigger an Israeli response. He also underscored that Israel had already dealt a significant blow to Hezbollah, noting, “Israel has set Hezbollah back by decades and destroyed the majority of its military capabilities.”
The Israeli leader also reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to its ongoing operations against Hamas in Gaza, stating that the government remains determined to fully dismantle the militant group and ensure the safe return of all remaining hostages held by Hamas.
