Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given his approval ‘in principle’ to an emerging ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, according to a report by CNN citing a source familiar with the matter. The approval came during a security consultation with Israeli officials on Sunday night.
The move signals a potential de-escalation of tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, where hostilities have flared in recent weeks. Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based Shiite militant group and political party, has been engaged in periodic conflicts with Israel. A ceasefire agreement would mark a significant step towards stabilizing the region.
Details of the proposed ceasefire have not been disclosed, and there has been no official statement from either the Israeli government or Hezbollah regarding the agreement. CNN reported that Netanyahu’s approval is contingent upon further discussions and the finalization of terms acceptable to both parties. The source familiar with the matter emphasized that the situation remains fluid.
The international community has been closely monitoring the situation, with hopes that a ceasefire could lead to lasting peace and security for communities on both sides of the border.
