Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he backs a ceasefire deal in Lebanon after he convened his "security cabinet" to discuss the proposal put forward by the United States and France.
The cabinet approved the ceasefire following two months of intensified attacks on Lebanon, Israeli Channel 12 reported.
The United States and France are expected to announce the ceasefire deal in a joint statement.
Lebanon's parliament will meet on Wednesday morning to discuss the agreement.
Speaking in a televised address on Tuesday, Netanyahu said the length of the ceasefire depended on Hezbollah. “We will maintain full freedom of movement… if Hezbollah moves rockets into position we will attack.”
