More than a year after the start of the war between Israel and the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, a ceasefire agreement could be imminent, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said.
“Basically [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu agreed and we as a government agree,” Bou Habib told Italian television channel Rai.
“The final decision lies with the Israeli cabinet,” the minister said.
Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet later Tuesday to approve a 60-day ceasefire with Hezbollah, according to media reports.
When asked if a ceasefire was 100% certain, Bou Habib said: “No one can give you 100%. You should ask Netanyahu that.”
