The Israeli security cabinet must decide on a ceasefire with Lebanese Hezbollah on Tuesday, November 26, an official said on Monday, November 25, with the United States affirming that an agreement was “close.”
Also very involved in international mediation efforts, the French presidency affirmed that discussions on a ceasefire had “advanced significantly“, calling on Israel and Hezbollah to seize each other”as soon as possible of this opportunity“.
These announcements were made after an intensification in recent days of Israeli strikes against strongholds of the pro-Iranian movement in Lebanon, which left at least 31 dead on Monday, November 25, according to the Ministry of Health.
