Netanyahu “open” to Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal
November 26, 2024 - The proposed 60-day truce between Israel and Hezbollah is based on UN Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah but which was never fully implemented, with both sides claiming violations by the other.

After almost a year of rocket attacks by Hezbollah in support of Hamas in Gaza, Israel mounted a ground invasion into south Lebanon with the aim of preventing an October 11 style attack from across its northern border. The proposal would see the IDF withdraw to the Blue Line de facto border between the two countries within 60 days, while Hezbollah would remove all fighters and arms from the area south of the Litani River, about 20 miles further north, to be replaced by the Lebanese Army with the support of UNFIL monitoring both sides’ adherence to the terms. The supply of arms and the presence of foreign forces in the country would be forbidden unless authorised by the Lebanese government.
Under pressure from the U.S., the Israeli cabinet meets to decide whether to approve the proposal, with Prime Minister Benjamin Natnyahu reportedly in favour, while hawkish National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has publicly opposed the deal.
