The Israeli cabinet meeting, originally scheduled for 4 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET) on Tuesday to discuss and vote on a US-backed ceasefire deal in Lebanon, has been delayed. According to the prime minister's spokesperson, the meeting has not yet started.
The delay in the cabinet meeting comes at a critical time as discussions surrounding a potential ceasefire in Lebanon are ongoing. The US-backed ceasefire deal aims to bring an end to the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
While the exact reasons for the delay have not been disclosed, it is clear that the decision-making process regarding the ceasefire deal is complex and requires careful consideration by Israeli officials.
Israeli Prime Minister, along with key members of the cabinet, are expected to convene for the meeting once it commences. The outcome of the discussions and the subsequent vote on the ceasefire deal will have significant implications for the ongoing conflict in Lebanon.
As the situation continues to evolve, all eyes are on the Israeli cabinet meeting to provide clarity on the country's stance towards the US-backed ceasefire proposal. The delay underscores the importance of thorough deliberation and decision-making in addressing the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region.
