Will Netanyahu finally agree to Lebanon cease-fire after months of delays?
Barring any major surprises, Israel is expected to approve a cease-fire deal with Hezbollah Tuesday — something that will make delaying his graft trial even harder for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
TEL AVIV — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed in principle to an emerging cease-fire deal with Hezbollah proposed by the United States, though Israel has reservations over some details, diplomatic sources confirmed to Al-Monitor.
The diplomatic sources said that Netanyahu might convene his cabinet as soon as Tuesday to approve the proposed deal.
Significant progress has been made in the talks following US envoy Amos Hochstein's visits to the region last week, CNN reported on Monday. Israeli diplomatic sources told Haaretz, "We are close to signing."
