Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly supported a cease-fire agreement with Hezbollah terrorists to end nearly 14 months of conflict. The deal, brokered by the U.S. and France, is pending formal approval by Netanyahu's cabinet.
During a security Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu outlined three reasons for backing the agreement: to address the Iranian threat, allow Israeli forces to regroup, and isolate Hamas from the northern front. By resolving the conflict with Hezbollah, Netanyahu aims to focus on recovering hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7.
