Former Israeli army commander: Tel Aviv has no choice but to accept a ceasefire.
According to Al-Mayadeen, the Israeli media quoted Noam Tifun, a reserve brigadier general and former commander of the Northern Division of the Israeli army, as saying that Tel Aviv accepted the agreement because it had no other options.
He continued that the Israeli regime should have accepted the ceasefire before sinking into the Lebanese quagmire and ended the war in Gaza before losing its soldiers without achieving anything.
David Azoulay, the head of the council of the Israeli settlement of Mutla, described the agreement as painful and sad, saying: “After the destruction of 70 percent of the houses in this village, this agreement means surrendering to Hezbollah, and I ask the residents not to return to their homes.”
ABC, citing Israeli officials, announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to hold meetings today to discuss the ceasefire in Lebanon, and this issue will also be put to a vote in the Israeli cabinet.
Itamar Ben-Gweir and Bezalel Smotrich, two extremist ministers in the Israeli cabinet, are opposed to reaching an agreement in the Lebanon war but have threatened to resign from the cabinet if the agreement is realized.
