Netanyahu Announces Lebanon 'Ceasefire' As Airstrikes Pummel Beirut

As Tel Aviv awaits the response from the Lebanese resistance, officials authorized the violent expansion of the bombing campaign inside Lebanon

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a speech on 26 November that Tel Aviv has accepted a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, vowing to act forcefully against Hezbollah in the event of any breach of the deal.

He made the announcement following a security cabinet session held to greenlight the ceasefire and as Israeli jets launched heavy strikes across Lebanon, including its capital.

Netanyahu said that signing an agreement with Lebanon will allow Israel to focus on “the Iranian threat,” adding that Tel Aviv is “changing the face of the region.” He said it would also allow Israeli troops to rest and weapon stores to be restocked.

The premier added that Hezbollah is not the same group “that launched a war against us [on 7 October],” adding that Israel killed the majority of its leadership and “destroyed their infrastructure.”

“We were able to achieve many of our goals during this war,” he said. Israel managed to “separate the fronts” and “isolate Hamas,” Netanyahu boasted.

...Netanyahu added that many critics do not believe his government is willing to start fighting in Lebanon again after the ceasefire. “After all this, maybe it’s time to start believing. Believing in our determination, in our way, in our dedication to victory.”

According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, the actual text of the agreement is ambiguous on whether Israel’s right to take action against violations is included. Israeli army radio reported that the text consists of both Israel and Lebanon’s right to self-defense, in line with previous reports.

...It said Israel would have to report any violation to the US-led committee overseeing the deal’s implementation, which will convene on the severity of the breach. The agreement is based on UN Resolution 1701.

“We doubt Netanyahu's commitment and will not allow him to pass a trap with the agreement. We must scrutinize the points that Netanyahu agreed to before the government signs [the deal] tomorrow,” Mahmoud al-Qamati, Deputy Head of Hezbollah’s Political Council, told Al Jazeera.

Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati called on the international community to “act swiftly” and “implement an immediate ceasefire” following the Israeli prime minister’s announcement.
