Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, also criticised the ceasefire deal, claiming it would not bring back safety to the residents of northern Israel. “The Lebanese army does not have the authority at all, and certainly not the ability to overcome Hezbollah,” he said.

Ahead of Israel's approval of a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon's Hezbollah group, displaced Israelis in the north of the country and relatives of hostages still being held in Gaza shared their views on the proposals.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday announced he will present a proposal for a cease-fire with Hezbollah to his Cabinet for approval. This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
