JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Tuesday that he is ready to implement a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, warning that Israel would respond forcefully to any violations by Hezbollah. Netanyahu declared that Israel would maintain “complete military freedom of action” under the terms of the deal.
In a televised address, Netanyahu revealed he would present the ceasefire agreement to his full cabinet later in the evening, after it was approved by the more limited security cabinet. The deal, which could bring an end to the deadly conflict that has raged since the Gaza war last year, is expected to take effect on Wednesday.
