Israel's right-wing Likud party has announced its support for a US-backed ceasefire deal in Lebanon, as confirmed by the party's spokesperson, Guy Levy. The decision comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads the Likud party, convened with party representatives on Tuesday afternoon to secure backing ahead of an upcoming cabinet meeting where the approval of the ceasefire agreement is anticipated.
The move by Likud to endorse the ceasefire deal signals a significant development in Israel's stance towards the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. The decision to support the US-backed initiative reflects a willingness on the part of Israel to engage in diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region.
