Israel's security cabinet is due to meet on Wednesday to consider the possibility of a ceasefire in Lebanon, according to a senior Israeli official, as the conflict with Hezbollah has lasted for more than five weeks.
The meeting, scheduled for the evening under the authority of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, comes amid heightened regional tensions. The Israeli offensive in Lebanon began on March 2, after Hezbollah, backed by Iran, launched attacks against Israel in support of Tehran.
According to Lebanese authorities, the conflict has already caused more than 2,000 deaths and displaced approximately 1,2 million people, highlighting the scale of the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Fighting continues despite growing calls for de-escalation.
On the diplomatic front, the United States recently hosted the first direct talks between Israel and Lebanon in decades. However, Israel had previously ruled out any ceasefire negotiations within this framework.
