Israeli security cabinet to discuss possible Lebanon ceasefire, senior official says

(Reuters/Al Arabiya) Israel’s security cabinet will convene on Wednesday to discuss a possible Lebanon ceasefire, a senior Israeli official said, more than five weeks into a war with Hezbollah that spiraled out of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet will meet at 8 p.m. (1700 GMT), the official said. Senior Hezbollah official Ibrahim al-Moussawi told Reuters that diplomatic efforts by Iran and other regional states could produce a ceasefire soon, saying Tehran had used its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as leverage. – Israeli security cabinet to discuss possible Lebanon ceasefire, senior official says
