Israel’s Netanyahu announces ceasefire deal in Lebanon
https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/11/26/737984/Israeli-security-cabinet-approves-ceasefire-in-Lebanon-report
THE MAIN REASON “ISRAEL” ACCEPTS A “CEASEFIRE” (IT WON’T RESPECT) IS BECAUSE IT’S LOSING ITS GENOCIDAL WAR IN LEBANON AND ITS ARMY AND SOCIETY ARE EXHAUSTED.
Israeli military commanders pledged to eradicate Hezbollah and eliminate its presence in southern Lebanon. However, they were ultimately compelled to accept a ceasefire agreement without achieving any of those goals.
Hezbollah has previously said that a total end to Israeli aggression and protection of Lebanon’s sovereignty were its conditions for accepting any ceasefire deal.
The ceasefire agreement requires Israeli troops to withdraw from south Lebanon and Lebanon’s army to deploy in the region, officials said.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati called on the international community to work quickly to implement the ceasefire and end the Israeli aggression.
“The hysterical aggression this evening on Beirut confirms that the enemy does not value any law,” he said.
Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Tuesday the agreement between Israel and Lebanon does not achieve the goal of returning the settlers of the north to their homes safely.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said Netanyahu’s cabinet was “dragged into an agreement with Hezbollah, currently the northern towns are destroyed, the lives of the residents have collapsed, and the army is exhausted.”

In an attempt to justify the decision before the Israelis, Netanyahu said that the occupation army would attack whenever it detects violation of the deal, alleging that ‘Israel’ would prevent Hezbollah from rearming.
The Israeli Channel 13 conducted a poll which showed that 61% of the Zionists believe that ‘Israel’ did not win the war.
Netanyahu also faces a harsh criticism from the residents of the northern settlements over the agreement, amid assertions that the displaced settlers would not return home in light of the outcome of the ongoing confrontation.
In this regard, the former minister Avigdor Lieberman said that none can prevent Hezbollah from rearming, calling on the displaced settlers to avoid returning to the ‘North
