Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday he would recommend his cabinet adopt a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, as Israeli warplanes struck across Lebanon, killing at least 23 people.
In a televised statement, Netanyahu said he would present the ceasefire to cabinet ministers with a vote expected later on Tuesday, setting the stage for an end to nearly 14 months of fighting.
It was not immediately clear when the ceasefire would go into effect, and the exact terms of the deal were not released.
The deal does not affect Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, which shows no signs of ending.
More to come.
