Israel's cabinet on Tuesday approved a ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hezbollah after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he backed the deal. "If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack," Netanyahu said on Tuesday ahead of the cabinet's decision. "For every violation, we will attack with might."

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, also criticised the ceasefire deal, claiming it would not bring back safety to the residents of northern Israel. “The Lebanese army does not have the authority at all, and certainly not the ability to overcome Hezbollah,” he said.
