According to the media reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his in principle approval to the plan. Mr. Netanyahu has already signed his potential approval for the emerging ceasefire with Hezbollah during a security consultation with Israeli officials, last night.
Mr. Netanyahu’s spokesperson said the Israeli cabinet will vote on the proposed deal today and it is expected to pass. However, Israel still has reservations over some details of the agreement, adding that those and other details are still being negotiated and multiple sources stressed that the agreement will not be final until all issues are resolved.
Meanwhile, Israel’s National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, has expressed strong opposition to the deal, calling it a big mistake and a historic missed opportunity to eradicate Hezbollah.
Yesterday, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said that Hochstein’s discussions had been constructive.
