Report: Israeli cabinet to approve US ceasefire plan for Lebanon
The Israeli political-security cabinet will approve the U.S. initiative regarding Lebanon and the U.S. arrangements have reached the final stages of drafting, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation reported on Wednesday.
"Israel has alternative operational plans if Lebanon rejects the U.S. proposal," the report said.
"Harm to Bashar Assad's regime could happen if weapons transfers to Lebanon continue," the report added, noting that the U.S.-brokered agreement with Lebanon prevents weapons transfers from syria.
"The arrangements include Hezbollah's withdrawal to north of the Litani River and the deployment of the Lebanese Army," the report said, adding that Washington will "support Israel in preventing any attempts by Hezbollah to rearm."
The report also mentions that the agreement includes "a document granting Israel the freedom to act in case of any violations."
